The releases of Netscape Navigator supported by the Java Plug-in do not provide mechanisms that allow for the automatic download and installation of the Java Plug-in software, as in Internet Explorer. The first time Netscape Navigator comes across a web page that is enabled for the Java Plug-in (the “activated page”), it redirects the user to another web page to download and install the Java Plug-in software on the user’s system. The user must then return to the “activated page” to render the applet using the Java Plug-in. From that point forward, the browser automatically invokes the Java Plug-in software each time it comes across web pages that supports the technology–completely transparent to the end user.
