IE6 Java Applet problems

I have tried every imaginable setting for IE6 (the latest that came with XP SP2), but cannot get IE to read applets. Even the one on the MIcrosoft test page fails. I set up a simple applet (per MS) and tried to run it. Here is the copy from the Sun Java console. I have no idea how to interpret this. Any ideas?

Thanks

download the latest release JRE, and use the java plugin settings in control panel to point IE to it. You need to do this manually. It could be that IE is just using an old JRE... one which is too old to view these applets.

Hi,The error message says that the class "DoesntExist" can't be found. Is that a class that you have created?/Kaj

"These" applets? Which ones? If he doesn't use Swing and some other featuers, there shouldn't be a problem.

Did you look at the error message? I think he should check his codebase attribute, I'm sure the problem is neither the IE nor the JVM but simply a class that's not there. Unless I'm overlooking something here...

I have the latest Sun Java, but even when I switch to the old MS VM, I have the same problem. The test applet on the Sun Java site (http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp) indicates that my java is working fine. But there are still apps on various web sites that do not work for me. For instance, when I go to http://www.doylesails.com, I get the message "your browser is not java capable". The error is on the home page where there is a picture rotator app. My wife has some old version of MS VM on her laptop and has no problem viewing the Doyle site (and others). The same situation is true on several other sites where I get the error message and she views them just fine.

Just having it on your machine is not enough, you have to explicitly tell the browser which one to use. Go the plugin settings in control panel (its a java coffee cup icon), and check in the advanced tab that it is using the latest Sun plugin for browsers. This is the only way that IE will use it, and if you have never done this, it will use "default", which is the MS VM. If this is the case, then you will see much of the behaviour you describe.

I already did that, but I re-checked it just in case. It's set to Sun JAva. Using the advanced button within IE Internet Options, I can change back and forth between the MS VM and the latest Sun Java. No matter which I use, I experience the same problem. I just can't view some web site apps.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks to all who responded to my posts. I figured out the problem. For some reason, Norton Internet Security inserts the following code above Javascripts. So disabling NIS, clearing the cache and refreshing fixes all of my problems. Now to figure out to circumvent this problem and still use the other features of NIS.

Thanks again
