Have you considered using JNLP?

How many question marks do you need to indicate an interrogative?

That's a very silly question.

Five minutes of googling found me this:
"For both Internet Explorer and the Mozilla family of browsers, if Java Plug-in is installed (version 1.3.1_01a or later) then the latest installed version of Java Plug-in is invoked to run the applet."
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html#applet>

and this (did you read the tutorials for applets?):
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/param.html>
"Parameters are to Java applets what command-line arguments are to applications. "

Did you write your applet to take a "java_version" parameter? If not, there's your error.

Really, you should consider reading the documentation,at least the tutorials. And increase your google-fu. It only took me five minutes to find this information, and I'm not experienced with applets.

Where did you find an indication of an applet parameter to specify the Java version? Please cite your reference.
