Hello Rajesh,

   I got this error so many times. Even in my team others  also.

For example

my applet is residing under directory
d:/root/classes/a.jar

html is in
d:/root/html/a.htm

>From my html, if I access the applet as
</applet>
codebase=../../classes
class = a.jar.
</applet>

If the above codebase is wrong, that means the path to access the
jar file is wrong, I got this error. To overcome this, I corrected my
codebase.

Hope this helps,
Kavitha
