how to test applet test with older JRE?

Hi,

I just did an applet game but I just found out that it won't work on other computers browser and I think it becaues they use older version of JRE (I have JRE 1.4 installed on mine).

I would like to know if there are any way or any programs that I can use to check if it support older version of JRE (1.1,1.0, or etc.) or not.. then I can check it while I'm coding to make sure it will work on older JRE version.

PS. here my game...... my first game though :)

look at the java console on the browser that isn't working and see what the error is. In IE this is under the View menu. You have to turn the menu item on in the Tools|Internet Options|Advanced dialog look for the "Java console enabled" option.

The easiest way to make sure your applet will run with an old JVM is to compile using the old JDK.

Better yet, just have people without a sufficient JRE download a new one; people do this with Flash all of the time. AFAIK most people use the HTML Converter for this (search at the top of page for this) but my preference is something like http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=406&thread=320349

Thanks for your answers but about jdk older version... I would like to know if it possible to install multiple versions of JDK and switch back and forth between them.. because I need to make it 1.1 complaint when I working on applet and newer version for my applications..Thanks
