Java not working on IE

I have the latest version of Java and IE installed on my computer and Java will not work on IE. When I first started having problems, I uninstalled Java and reinstalled it... 3 more times since then. I updated my IE, but that didnt help either. I made sure IE was enabled in my Java console. I have tried everything I know to do to fix this, but nothing has worked. Java is working fine for me using firefox. I dont understand why I'm having problems with IE if it works there. Any help would in trying to fix this problem will be greatly appreciated.

What is the reason for you saying that 'java will not work'. Is there something specific that you would like to mention?

Set your java path to your system variable path and same to classpath.Go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Restore defaults.Restart the system.Now check it out ?
