Lachlan,
Take a look at the HTML converter application that comes from sun (1.3
plugin site I think), to convert your HTML files with <APPLET> tags into
ones with <OBJECT> (for IE) or <EMBED> for netscape. The converter also
inserts as an attribute of the new tag, a url to the Sun web site that will
automatically download the plugin if it's not already installed on the
client PC. You can change that url to one on your intranet, to serve the
plugin installation as its needed.
For example, something like this <OBJECT> tag (compatible with IE for
windows only) is included in one of my pages:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
WIDTH = 100 HEIGHT = 100
codebase="http://mti_dev:8080/java_plugin/j2re1_3_0-win.exe#Version=1,3,0,0"
>
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = "package.Applet" >
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
<PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME= ARCHIVE VALUE = Applet.jar >
</OBJECT>
The codebase on the second line indicates where the plugin is available
from.
The HTML converter created this initially from a regular <APPLET> tag. Don't
ask me how it all works, it just does!
Cheers
Mark
