Java applets are old news. You can create much faster-loading interactive web sites using ASP, JSP and so on, than you can with Java applets. However, I do believe Netscape 6 supports Java, so Applets won't be phased-out for ages.

Netscape 6 supports Java, but I guess IE is mosy widely used . so it could affect applets . what do you think ?

With IE 6 and Windows XP, M$ has stopped shipping a JVM.Java is available to browsers now through Sun's Java Plug-in (see http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/ ).Netscape 6 doesn't "directly" support Java as it did in the past; it utilizes the Sun Java plug-in.

my concern is not about applet at all, it is how IE6 or future version affect the java application, including applets, java based plugin like cult3d and/or others java written application.

plus who cares about NE, i even hated it when we still need to spend valuable time QA our application to NE compliance.

Forget netscape, Opera is the best browser in my opinion. It supports plenty of features that I find very nice: It supports Java, can disable popups, internal windows (so you dont have multiple items in the taskbar), and it's fast. And no, I doubt microsoft will support Java in the future, they'll probably stick with 1.1. Anyway, check out Opera http://www.opera.com

IE6 definately supports Java. I'm using IE6 now and it runs any Java applet I throw at it. And I get a lvely little Java Console icon that appears in my system tray every time I use a Java embedded web page with IE6.

As a programmer, you should like Netscape on principal, not hate it. It is much more choosy about what HTML is displays correctly, enforcing better standards of HTML, where as IE allows much sloppier code. ;-)
