Why are you using applets? I suggest you use Flash or JavaScript instead...

The answer depends on what your Java applets are doing. But I find programming Java not only time consuming, but the results are usually painfully slow to run in a browser. On the other hand, browser makers are improving the speed of JavaScript by orders of magnitude.

I believe that you would be much better off learning JavaScript than struggling with a major "enterprise" language like Java - unless you intend to use Java on the server, that is...

Cordially, David

Here is a pretty informative article on the ways you can check to see if Java is enabled:

A bit off topic, but I agree with some of the other commenters...when I see that a website requires Java, I usually run away as fast as I can.
