Does the new version of Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 6, support JAVA VM?
Yes, Internet Explorer 6 supports Java. Java applets run in Internet Explorer 6 just as they run in older versions of Internet Explorer. The Java VM is not installed as part of the typical installation, but is installed on demand when a user encounters a page that uses a Java Applet. It should be noted, though, that the download is not small, and that this may deter users visiting your site using a typical telephone modem, as they will need to download this additional plug-in before interacting with your Java-enabled site. We would would stress that NOF projects are encouraged to avoid non-standardised solutions such as Java and that – if Java is used – it is strongly recommended that this be implemented on the SERVER, rather than expecting users’ web clients to handle any Java.
