Java 2 Runtime Environment v 1.3.1_01a now supports the HTML APPLET tag for launching applets on Internt Explorer. Please use it.
This software invokes Java Plug-in instead of Microsoft VM.
Requires Java Plug-in.
Requires Windows 95/NT 4.0 (or later) and Internet Explorer 4.0 (or later).
I confirmed the following environment.
And I got the report it works on the following environment.
Once installed, Web pages using APPLET element would invoke Java Plug-in.
If you want to use Microsoft VM temporarily, you can toggle it by using "Internet Options" - "Advanced" - "Browse" - "Use Java Plug-in".
If you use this software to avoid Microsoft VM's security bugs, remember the following considerations.
This software itself may have security holes. If you found, please tell me.
This software doesn't trap all method for IE to invoke Microsoft VM.
I recommmend uninstall Microsoft VM. To uninstall Microsoft VM,
If Java Plug-in is not installed, On demand install try to install Microsoft VM! Cancel it.
Re-install this software after applying Operating System's service packs, IE updates, or Microsoft VM updates.
<OBJECT classid="java:Hello"> will use Microsoft VM even if you select Java Plug-ins. IE appears to use an undocumented method to load Java applets using OBJECT element.
Internet Options about Microsoft VM will be ignored except "Disable Java". Use Java Plug-in Control Panel to configure.
"View" - "Java Console" will display Microsoft VM's Java Console. To display Java Console, use Java Plug-in Control Panel.
