Java Applet in JAR File

Question

I have created a java applet (.class file) and made a .jar with it and digitally signed the .jar file. Now I need to run the .jar as an applet in firefox. What do I put in the html code to run the .jar file as an applet? I tried and it doesn't work, it tries to get a .class file, how do I load and run my applet as a .jar file using the applet tag in Internet Explorer and Firefox? I searched on the internet and could not find an answer.

Note that any data in the applet tag parameters is not signed, and so may be replaced by a malicious third party. So don't trust it. — Tom Hawtin - tackline

should work

<applet code=TicTacToe.class archive="TicTacToe.jar" width=120 height=120> </applet>

(The class has your main() I assume, the jar is the entire thing)

Thanks, that works, it fixed my problem. I needed to put archive into the applet tag, now it works and my applet loads successfully.

What doesn't work? Any errors? Does it show up at least?

The HTML is as simple as:

<applet code="class_that_extends_Applet.class" archive="your_signed.jar"> <param name="param1" value="value1"> <param name="param2" value="value2"> </applet>
