Re: Apple turning off Java applets as default?

Yes, in 10.7 it stopped working.  It worked in 10.6.  Just tried it again now in Safari 5.1.5 and I get nothing.

Have you tested your invisible applet case? In one case where I used an invisible Applet (width=height=1), I still could see the "Inactive Plug-in" message.

I've given up on assuming java is available in a browser.  I used an invisible applet that used _javascript_ calls to cause it to load hidden, and _javascript_ calls to get and set data in the applet that was then displayed using HTML and CSS for the user.

So having a disabled invisible applet means the user will never even know it existed, and they can't enable it.

And no drag and drop to the browser?  Java is dying on OS X, and Apple is making it happen.
