812: Sidetrip

Unfortunately, browser development tends to lag behind Java development, and at any given moment, the latest browsers, without help, tend to be unable to run programs written in the latest version of Java. Nevertheless, you can tell the popular browsers to use the latest plug-in Java, rather than their built-in versions.

Note, however, that you should not try to supply a plug-in prescription yourself. Instead, you use a translation tool to modify your <applet>-containing HTML file. See the Software page, at the end of this book, for instructions on how to obtain such a translation tool.
