Okay, so from searching the lists I get the strong impression that the Microsoft Virtual Machine (MVM) doesn't support anything beyond jdk1.1, which is why we have so many problems with applets.
So is there anywhere that I can get a specification of what the MVM actually does support, like an API or something?
Thanks in advance.

Replying to my own post. Looks like a spec can be found at:
http://www.microsoft.com/java/download/dl_sdk40.htm
Although I would still be very interested to know it there is a spec for version 5.0 since this is what my version of IE seems to be using.
Thanks in advance

Java has been put straight out of MS's dictionary forever. Last version supported is 1.1.4 but XP wont have any. So try downloading the plugin.
Again the MS Inoperating system overrides the client's needs and gives more importance to Company's (wrong) strategies.
Let's keep Java alive and spread it. Microsoft will adopt it back im sure and people will be able to see our applets.
You installed Sun's JRE and expected IE6 to use it to display applets? It doesn't work that way. IE uses its own JRE to display applets in the applet tag.
If you install the Java 2 plug-in, and use the HTML Converter to convert the HTML page that contains the applet into the proper form, then IE6 will use the plug-in to execute the applet.
This post really doesn't belong in the JVM forum. Try the Java Plug-In forum or the JRE forum for more help.
