applet "not found" in IE6

[Stuart P]

I have a problem getting applets to load in IE6 (the about box says
it's version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633). When I refresh the
page with my applet on it, the status bar says "Loading Java Applet:
http://stuff/", and when I enter the address shown in the address bar,
it finds the file just fine. However, the applet never loads, and
when i move the mouse over it, it says "load: class "whatever.class"
not found". I was wondering if there was something i needed to do in
order to make it find my applet.

Thanks in advance,

Recent versions of IE no longer include any java runtime by default due to
legal issues (I don't know if applying SP2 to an existing installation
actually removes JView). Anyway, you'll need to download a java runtime
environment, which you can get from Sun at www.java.com. Or a full SDK
from java.sun.com

HTH,

Frank

Make sure the applet is actually on your site, is located correctly and has
the right name. Make sure the applet tag accurately identifies the applet
class file.

Welcome to applet hell!! I've spent many hours trying to get applets to
work. Its usually jvm compatibility issues. If you try everything and
it doesn't work in standard IE browsers with the ms jvm, then its cause
your program uses API classes that weren't there in Java 1.1 (which is
all the ms jvm supports). You can either require users to dload the sun
vm, or you make sure there is no classes in your code that weren't
supported in sdk 1.1. The java api specs will tell you what vm's
support what classes.

Good Luck!!!

I supect Frank and Jae identified the problem,
but I think we should confirm it before proceeding
to what you can do now..

What does this report?
