Supporting Both Internet Explorer and Navigator With the Same Page
It is possible to support both Internet Explorer and Navigator with the same Web page. To do this, you would include code similar to the following:
When using the code in this example, you should be aware of the following issues that arise for the difference browsers:
- Navigator ignores the OBJECT tag and the
cabbase
PARAM because it does not support them.- Internet Explorer supports the OBJECT tag and the
cabbase
PARAM and looks for classes in the.cab
file specified in thecabbase
PARAM of the OBJECT tag before using the
.jar
files specified in the applet tag's archive attribute.- Internet Explorer does not support Netscape's code signing technology, as a result, any code found in
.jar
files is untrusted and limits the servers to which the browser can connect.- Navigator does not support
.cab
files, and as a result, ignores thecabbase
PARAM. Therefore, you need to specify both.cab
and.jar
files.For more information about supporting both Internet Explorer and Navigator with the same Web page, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q179652.
