browser ignores <applet> tag

Hi FrawgLips,
    Which browser?

Bye
---
Harish

Internet Explorer

Can you please post the source of that page?

C:\jdk1.2.1\demo\applets\(any demo example).html

There is a .class and .java file in the same folder as the HTML doc.

when I click on demo.html icon is when I get that message......
Thanks 4 response.....you might want to be real specific with questions....lol....I am almost a dummy...

Which applet ? Please show that .. We can't solve your problem if we know nothing about them

altogether there are 450 applets.....they all get the same error message....I believe the problem has to do with the browser....not the applets....The browser(Internet Exp.) is ignoring the applet tags

Have you tried in other browsers?

mgh mgharish;

OK, The problem has been solved.....I went to Sun Microsystems and downloaded and installed jdk5.0.(I believe Sun's VM has now replaced microsoft's VM).  At any rate so far all applets work correctly...at least I don't get any messages....
Thanks for the interest in helping....will close the question.

OK.. Fine

>> is a request to modify or close
What is meant by "modify"? Another question? OK
