A bit confuesed here, correct me if I'm wrong...

IE6 doesn't support plugins
IE6 doesn't include a VM


So, I have the latest JAVA2 installed with version 1.3.1 of the JRE/Plugin, I don't think the plugin is diverting java applets to Sun's JRE.
If I go in the plugin folder of IE6 it says my java plugin is for netscape?! and its reported as broken?! Theres 2 actually.

Could someone explain whats going on with IE6 and Java?

XP comes with IE6 doesnt it, same deal with Java then?

Confused 😕

Thanks

HTML sites with the <object>-tag will use the JRE plugin from SUN. the normal <applet>-Tags requiry a JVM supported "directly" by the browser. In the case of the IE6.0 you need the MS JVM which will be automatically downloaded once you come on a site with standard applets (the ones with da <applet>-tag).
