Is it possible to make a software to install an applet on a computer. So when the user go to the web page and want to see the applet, the browser does't download the applet but instead, use the installed applet?
If it is possible, how to do it?
Thanks in advance

Internet Explorer has the behavior by default.
It download the applet only once unless you delete your temporary files.
But if you want to really install an applet in a computer, you can copy the applet class on the computer and use this code in the page:
<applet codebase="c:\...\applet1.class" etc...
I know there there is a way for each object invoked in a web page to have another default object called in case the fisrt one isn't find. Check the correct code elsewhere:
><object id="sw" name="sw" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="c:\...\myclass">
<param name="abc" value="cba">
<embed src="http://yourRemoteSite/" [pluginspage=""] type="JavaApp">
</object>
By this way you check if the local application is on the local machine and if not: you download the remote application...
But find the appropriated code for the "<object>" tag...
