Can anyone point me to a resource about what HTML tags to use for
applets to make it load properly in all recent browsers? I tried
<applet> and HTMLConverter which gave me <object>...<embed>, but the
first didn't work for IE with Microsoft JVM, and the second forced some
users to download a plugin.

Is there a good discussion anywhere at all about cross-browser issues?
Everything I found by Google so far, looks outdated. We have a wide
variety of users and I cannot possibly test applets in all
configurations. Thanks.
