Writing compatible code

[Kent]

<newbie_alert>

I've just finished writng my first complete applet. Everything runs fine on
my machine. I have Sun's J2 SDK (1.4) & JVM installed it. I am unable to run
my applet @ work. They have IE sp1 & restrictive policies which prevent me
from installing a 1.4 JVM.

What can be done, from a "coding" point of view, that will enable this
applet to run on older browsers?

Essentially those machines don't have Java on them. So will you need to code
specifically for MS's JVM. Use J++ or J# which really are only Java in syntax.

Hmmm. They won't let you install Java, which is very secure, but they have
back level versions of IE and thus have a security risk?

You're right, it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Aint beaurocracy a
