Create applet java class e.g. com.applet.Select.java 2. Compile it into com.applet.Select.class file 3. Make a jar(e.g. SelectApplet.jar) that contain class file 4. Put resulted jar on some server that it can be accessed by some url(e.g. http://testhost/applets/SelectApplet.jar) 5. Create embed.html file that contains these html lines: <html> <head> </head> <body> <embed type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4.1" code="com.applet.Select.class" codebase="http://testhost/applets/" ARCHIVE="SelectApplet.jar" NAME="selectapplet" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="200" pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/index.html#download" > </embed> </body> 6. Open embed.htm using mozilla browser Actual Results: 'Click here to get the plug-in' link shows up Expected Results: Load an applet. I use Mac OS X version 10.2.4 (6132). Version of java plug-in is 1.4.1. If I change 'type' attribute in embed tag to version 1.3.1 (type='application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1') than mozilla loads an applet.
Mozilla (and most other OS X browsers, except Safari) will only use Java Plugin 1.3.1, even if a later JRE is installed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 197813 ***
