I'm not sure if this will help but I've been dealing with a similar 
issue recently relating to CFGRID which also relies on a java 
applet. The problem we were having was not so much browser 
version related as it was JDE version related (java runtime 
environment). The JDE version that seems to work ok with 
CFGRID is 1.3.0* and possibly 1.3.1*. 

Later versions such as 1.4* no longer allow passing certain types 
of data in ways the earlier versions did which "breaks" these 
applets' functionality. Since your application sounds like it's only 
being used by a controlled number of users you might try the 
following (this assumes you are using Windows as your OS):

On each computer that needs to access these apps, 
Rename the folder that contains java version 1.4 if you have it. 
This ought to be in c:\program files\java.
Rename the folders that contain any earlier versions of java. 
These ought to be in c:\program files\javasoft\JRE.

Then point your IE6 to a page with your tree control. It should 
sense that you don't have a JRE installed and also should then 
automatically download and install JRE 1.3.0_01. In our case, 
the CFGRID started working again.

I hope this helps. I think it sucks that MM has not addressed this 
other than to suggest this type of work around.

You can find numerous older versions of the JRE at

There is also quite a lot of discussion about this issue on the 
online forums for Cold Fusion at
