Running Applet on Web

My applet works fine on the appletviewer but when I try to run it on the browser it doesn't work. The java console shows the following:

I did install a HTML converter.

What does this all mean.

com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[Host]: java.io.IOException: bad path: C:\oracle\ora92\jdk\bin\javax\swing\JApplet.class

That means that your applet is attempting to access a file, but the applet security model is preventing it (applets can't read files off the local system, more on security restrictions here). The lines which follow tell you where that exception occurred.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.swing.JApplet
at com/ms/vm/loader/URLClassLoader.loadClass

This means that the class javax.swing.JApplet cannot be found. I see you are using the MS Java VM. Its primitive compared to the Java 1.4 and 1.5 JVM's, and will not have newer features like Swing, Collections and so on. If you haven't, install the JRE or JDK, then go to your computer's control panel, click on the Java Plug-In icon, select the "Browser" tab and check the box to make the new JVM the default for IE.

Thank you very much Joe

When I try to run the applet on my home pc, the applet starts to load but then it stalls with the status reading 'Applet Loading. . .'. The java console only shows:

I realize this is the same older version. Do I really need to get the latest version of Java JVM? Another applet using swing was able to load onto the browser. If I get the latest version, does it come in CD rom form because I've been having trouble downloading lately?
