Hi 
Also the details of signing an applet are different depending on which 
browser you want your applet to run in.
IE needs Authenticode certificates and  a.CAB file,
Netscape needs an Object Signing Certificate and a.jar file.
If you need your applet to access a resource on the client machine the 
details are even more browser specific.
You can find more info at the Netscape and Microsoft sites.
Regards,
Ravi
