Is it a specific applet, or all applets aren't working?

[raypm]

Applet used by New Jersey electronic filing of partnership tax

They may not have it programmed properly for Netscape - have you tried (ugh) IE yet?

[raypm]

Works on IE

[glc]

Then it's probably programmed for the M$ VM, not true Java.

[raypm]

How do I correct this?

[glc]

Use IE. I despise IE but I have to use it on some sites, nothing else works.

[raypm]

Is this legal?

This is another nail in MS monop[ly coffin.

[glc]

Of course it's legal. If there's any blame to be issued, it should go to the state's web developers. There is no law that dictates web programming standards.
