If it runs in the Applet viewer it should be displayed in a web browser.
I guess netbeans is using the old <Applet> tag which causes compatibility issues in IE, FF,... you better check your IE settings to make sure Java is enabled and check the Java settings to make sure the applets are enabled then check the html page if it's in the acceptable format

Hi thank you for reply
the IE setting ok but I am not sure about java setting because no idea how to check java for applet could tell me please how to do it? about the HTML I think it is ok to be sure here is the HTML code for the applet programm

<HTML>
<HEAD>
   <TITLE>Applet HTML Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<!--
*** GENERATED applet HTML launcher - DO NOT EDIT IN 'BUILD' FOLDER ***

If you need to modify this HTML launcher file (e.g., to add applet parameters), 
copy it to where your applet class is found in the SRC folder. If you do this, 
the IDE will use it when you run or debug the applet.

Tip: To exclude an HTML launcher from the JAR file, use exclusion filters in 
the Packaging page in the Project Properties dialog.

For more information see the online help.

As I said, the Applet tag is deprecated and you shouldn't be using it. Instead take a look at what sun has to say about this
