Hi there,

I've written my first applet just now and it works fine in Opera, but not at
all in Internet Explorer. I've found a URL that says it's because of a
version mismatch between the Java RE in my browser and the compiler I'm
using.

2 Quick questions for ya...

1. I've followed a bunch of links on different pages but none seem to take
me to the correct download.

2. If I have to go through this hassle to get my applets to work, what's the
chances that 99% of other folk on the web would too? And hence isn't this a
bit of a waste of time?

Many thanks,

Eric
