Cannot use applet in Internet Explorer

**ychhuong** · Mar 19th, 2006, 09:36 PM

I have installed j2sdk1.4.2. I have a applet class and view this in IE. IE didn't recognize the <applet> tag.

VB Code:

<applet code="applet1.class" width="100" height="200">
</applet>

It display the same thing in IE:

VB Code:

<applet code="applet1.class" width="100" height="200">
</applet>

Make sure the html file and the class file must be in the same dir

Are you using FronPage?

**ychhuong** · Mar 20th, 2006, 01:49 AM

Yes. I put class name and html file in the same folder. I used Notepad. I think that Internet Explorer dose not recognize <applet> tag.

It wouldn't matter if everythings in the same directory. At the very least it would show an empty box with an x in the corner. Internet explorer should read applet tags just fine. I use it all the time and mine show up. Make sure you are saving the webpage with a .html extension. Also, it would help if you posted the rest of the code.

You could have something like this:

Code:

<html>
  <head><title></title></head>
  <body>
    //applet code
  </body>
</html>

I have tried to open applet sample(html with applet) that come with j2sdk. It also does not recognize the applet tag.

Go to internet options --> advanced --> make sure the box for sun JRE is selected. I know it's not since you say that it is not recognized <applet>. If it is selected, then unselect it. If it is checked, then try unchecking it.

Use Sun AppletViewer
it must must work correctly, otherwise your sdk has a problem and needs reinstalling

I used appletviewer. It worked properly but I does not work in Internet Explorer.

Did you do what I told you to do? You need a JRE to recognize the applet tag and that box needs to be checked.

Open Java from the control panel
go to the Advanced tab
Under Applet support make sure IE is checked

Thank all. Now I reinstall J2SDK and it runs properly.

If you are using IE 7, I guess the problem is the Applet tag has been removed and replaced with <object> with some specifications

Try viewing a webpage that contains an Applet to see if you can get it to work
