    try replacing the XXX.class file name and the archive YYY.jar spec (if used, otherwise remove) and serve it up again.

    lookup the HTMLConverter.

    The applet has crashed on something.
    This could be a number of things: such as you forgot to upload one or more class or jar files, the applet is misconfigured (and there is no system in the applet to catch misconfiguration), the applet has a bug, ....

    The way to find out what the problem is, is by opening the Java Console.
    You can open the Java Console in I.E. by going to extra =>internet options => advanced => Microsoft VM => enable Java Console. And then doing view => Java Console.

    Question

    Have you downloaded plug in's and activated it. Have you HTML converted your web page-http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/htmlconv.html#install . It has a bug too-broken link.

    Javac will produce filename that has $ sign in it will not be accepted by web host machines as a valid filename. So U need a jar files to trick it. To confuse more, Java console is not your window.

    I found the hard way-Java learning curve and now found that Java is not supported by any browsers.they need plug in as any other language. Java belongs to relic.

    Good luck.
