Forcing a different VM for every browser

Hi everyone!

I have to access two different applets from the same Windows machine, one requires Internet Explorer with JRE 1.3.1 and the other one any other browser with JRE 1.4.2.. I know this sounds like prehistory, but please bear with me X-)

Is there a way to tell the java-plugin which version to use, at a per-browser level?

I have complete control over the Windows machine and nearly complete over the JRE 1.3.1 applet, while nearly none over the 1.4.2 one..

Many thanks for your attention!

Hi

Not sure if this is what you're asking for but...

Presumably you're going to have different HTML for each applet, and I believe you can add this attribute to your OBJECT tag:

<OBJECT ID="yourApplet classid = "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0003-ABCDEFFEDCBA">

</OBJECT>

The three four-digit sections specify JVM version, so above it is 1.4.2_03.

So if you use different numbers for each applet, i.e for the 1.3.1 one.

<OBJECT ID="yourApplet classid = "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0013-0001-0000-ABCDEFFEDCBA">

</OBJECT>

Hope this helps.
