What is the easiest way to generate the HTML for putting an applet on
a web page?

This works for me: -

    <script type="text/javascript">

    var appletDef = navigator.appName;

    if (appletDef == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")

Ask the JS programmers about the evils of browser
sniffing and the virtues of 'feature detection'.
Feature detection makes for more robust, maintainable
scripts.

Tell you what smart arse, why don't you "put up" your 'feature detection'
example for the OP to copy?

Even without an example it is still good advice.

Smarts arses are those not listening to good advice.

I got the example from a SUN page not dissimilar to his one: -
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html

Maybe you should let SUN have a compy of your code as well?

Not all of SUN's docs are equally good.

Java applets has been a low priority for many years. I would not
be surprised if very few resources has been applied to applets docs.
