Applet woes

[Acire]

Hi everyone,

I've spent a good amount of time developing a web site and thought I was
coming down the home stretch.... I am not a pro by any stretch of the
imagination. I have a small java applet that is just a sliding menu. I spent
a long time working out how to call it externally to get around the stupid
"Click to Activate" issue and even had to move the site to use frames so the
applet would load and work properly. That was all fine and dandy until just
now I find out that it doesn't load at all in FireFox. And of course we have
a client that strictly uses FireFox.

Here is a begining of the .js file that loads the applet:

function embedObject() {
document.write('<applet name=\"WibbleEMS\" code=\"WibbleEMS.class\"
codebase=\"../\" height=\"700\" width=\"200\">' +
'<param name=\"ButtonWidth\" value=\"175\">' +
'<param name=\"ButtonHeight\" value=\"40\">' +
'<param name=\"ButtonAlign\" value=\"1\">' +
'<param name=\"PWidth_1\" value=\"100\">' +
'<param name=\"PWidth_2\" value=\"95\">' +
'<param name=\"PHeight_1\" value=\"100\">' +
'<param name=\"PHeight_2\" value=\"98\">' +
'<param name=\"Brightness_1\" value=\"0\">' +
'<param name=\"Brightness_2\" value=\"-10\">' +
'<param name=\"Brightness_3\" value=\"0\">' +
'<param name=\"Brightness_4\" value=\"-10\">' +
'<param name=\"Brightness_5\" value=\"0\">' +
'<param name=\"Brightness_6\" value=\"-10\">' +

(sorry if this is the wrong place to ask - I used FP to develop my site and
I don't really know what the proper forum should be)

So my question is this - does anyone know how to get the apllet to work with
FireFox and/or does anyone have any suggestions of a expandable menu
structure that works in FP, IE and FireFox

Thanks for any advice!

Regards,

Erica

Java applets will not work in any of my browsers. Many users do not have a
Java Virtual Machine installed, or have it disabled in browsers for
security reasons. Java is also incredibly slow to load - one reason for
not using it.
