XHTML 1.0 Strict Java Applet

[ProfReynolds]

Okay,

I want to use a JAVA applet, and have XHTML 1.0 Strict compliance.

The page can be seen here:

http://vle2.capella.edu/1126823/index.html

I have the original code, here:

<APPLET ARCHIVE="VerticalTicker.jar" codebase="[URL unfurl="true"]http://vle1.capella.edu/1126823/Templates/Java/"[/URL] code="com.imagine.component.verticalticker.VerticalTickerApplet.class" alt="Java Applet!"
align="absbottom" width="100%" height="177">
<PARAM name="showScrollbar" value="false" />
<PARAM name="numberOfLines" value="10" />
<PARAM name="backgroundEven" value="f0f0f0" />
<PARAM name="backgroundOdd" value="fafafa" />
<PARAM name="displayGrid" value="true" />
<PARAM name="gridColor" value="fafafa" />
<PARAM name="displayBorder" value="true" />
<PARAM name="borderColor" value="0xeaeaea" />
<PARAM name="font" value="Arial,PLAIN,10" />
<PARAM name="fontColor" value="1b3652" />
<PARAM name="fontColorOnMouseOver" value="0000ff" />
<PARAM name="tickSleep" value="2000" />
<PARAM name="initialTickSleep" value="6000" />
<PARAM name="cacheInitialLines" value="true" />
<PARAM name="reloadInterval" value="100000" />
<PARAM name="leftPadding" value="5" />
<PARAM name="feed" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://vle1.capella.edu/1126823/Templates/Java/news-rss.php"[/URL] />
</APPLET>

And the adjustments I have made, here

<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object classid="java:com.imagine.component.verticalticker.VerticalTickerApplet.class" 
   type="application/x-java-applet"

It displays perfectly in IE 7, but does not display in FF.

Any suggestions?

Appears that the conditional comments you have in your code, which only IE can understand, could possibly be blocking the code from Firefox.

Try removing all the conditional comments and see if the applet loads in FF / IE.
