Why won my Java 1.1 applets execute in Netscape 4.02 or lower?
Your browser must be updated to Netscape 4.03 or higher AND you must download the JDK 1.1 patch from http://developer.netscape.com Java 1.1 applets will not execute in Netscape 4.02 or below. Alternatively, you can obtain the Java Plug-In and the Java Plug-In HTML Converter from http://java.sun.com These allow you to execute Java applets using Java 1.1 in Netscape 3.x and higher and Internet Explorer 3.02 and higher.
