Newbie Applet question

I've developed a simple little applet that displays date information. It runs fine in appletviewer. I then created a simple html page with an <applet> tag and a call to my class. When I launch the html - I get a gray box where my applet should load. (I'm just trying to run the applet locally)

Then I convert the html with an html converter because I heard that it has to be so when using IE 5.5. It changes the html to this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Today Is</title>
<meta name=&quot;description&quot; content=&quot;&quot;>
<meta name=&quot;keywords&quot; content=&quot;&quot;>
</head>
<body bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; text=&quot;#000000&quot; link=&quot;#0000FF&quot; vlink=&quot;#FF00FF&quot;>
<!--&quot;CONVERTED_APPLET&quot;-->
<!-- CONVERTER VERSION 1.3 -->
<OBJECT classid=&quot;clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93&quot;
codebase=&quot;
<PARAM NAME=&quot;type&quot; VALUE=&quot;application/x-java-applet;version=1.3&quot;>
<PARAM NAME=&quot;scriptable&quot; VALUE=&quot;false&quot;>
<COMMENT>
<EMBED type=&quot;application/x-java-applet;version=1.3&quot; scriptable=false pluginspage=&quot;code=&quot;c:\justjava\applets\todayis.class&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; height=&quot;600&quot;
</NOEMBED></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

<!--
<APPLET>
code=&quot;todayis.class&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; height=&quot;600&quot;

</APPLET>
-->
<!--&quot;END_CONVERTED_APPLET&quot;-->

</body>
</html>

When I launch the new html - it tries to load the applet for about 2 minutes until it finally gives up.

Can anyone help a newbie out here?

Never mind - figured it out.
Needed the plug-in and the right html.

If you are trying to use IE then I sugest not bothering with trying to make your Applet work in IE untill you know the Java codes that will let it run in older version of IE :cool:. &quot;and everything under the sun is in tune
