The
applet is embedded in a converted HTML page (i.e. javascript to separate IE from Netscape and others). If the computer does not have the
Java plug-in installed, it used to bring up the download popup asking if the user wanted to install the plug-in. Sometime since I last checked it on a computer that doesn't have java installed, it stopped asking (at least in IE5 and IE6).
What could have caused this change of action? I think the "codebase" value is still valid because if I look at the source and copy the URL and paste it into my browser, I get a popup.
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0"
Could it be because it is not a "current" plugin (i.e. 1.5)?
