The applet is not supposed to run in Netscape or IE, which
use a different security model.

In order to run that applet in Netscape or IE,
you would have to change its HTML specification and
use the OBJECT and the EMBED tags.

This will direct the applet to run using Sun's Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) instead of the web
browser's default virtual machine.

See

and
