As is documented in the Java deployment documentation, despite the fact that OBJECT or EMBED *should* be a better alternative to APPLET, APPLET is still the most reliable way of loading an applet due to browser bugs and inconsistent interpretation of the spec. One day all browsers will properly embed content, but that day has no yet arrived. Fortunately, along with JavaSE 6 update 10, Sun is providing a deployment JavaScript which hides all of the JRE version detection and APPLET tag generation from you, smoothing over the browser differences. When browsers do eventually support OBJECT or EMBED we can switch the implementation of the javascript to use that without affecting developers at all.
