Hi,

In my Applet's <object> tag I specify the "java_sersion" parameter as
follows: -

<param name="java_version"       value="1.7+">

I'd expected this clause to trigger the Java plugin (as long as after
1.6_10) to throw/report some sort of excption if there was now Java
version available >= 1.7. Unfortunately, the Java plugin (1.6_31 in
this case) seems very happy just to attempt to run the Applet on that
version and ignore the later version requirement.

Is this to be expected?

Have I specified the parameter incorrectly?

I thought it might just have been crappy Safari on OS/X but it also
limps-on or completely ignores this parameter on FireFox and Windows.

I would like the Applet load to fail if there is no 1.7+ version; how
can I achieve this?

Cheers Richard Maher
