Applet - Oracle 8.0 database connectivity failing in Netscape Browser
I have written a Java Applet to connect to the Oracle (8.0) database. My Applet is residing in a remote server. The Applet connected to the database when run in Internet Explorer, but failed to connect to the database using Netscape Navigator (4.08) and resulted in the following error

I have zipped the my Java Applet program with the Oracle Thin Driver classes (EmpActivityApplet.zip) and coded the following HTML page to load the Applet:
