APPLET vs. OBJECT tag question

C

Chris Berg

I am writing an signed applet for use in the public domain. As I
understand the statistics, about 60% of all users still run some Win /
IE combo with the old MS 1.1 VM. The rest runs some combination of
browser and a newer VM. Yet, a growing number has no VM at all (Win XP
younger than 1½ years, being Java-virgin).

My applet runs well under 1.1, so I won't force anyone to download the
plugin. Only if they don't have any VM at all.

Is it possible to accomplish this with the OBJECT tag, without
resorting to a lot of Javascript HocusPocus?

The Applet Conversion tool from Sun is not sufficient here (or I don't
know how to adjust it). From what I understand, it always forces a
1.1-user to get the plug-in.

Loo up Andrew Thompson's "Java Version Applet." It's rugged and lets you do
what you want to! -Ike
