Thread: I can't seem to open an html-file

When I try to open an html-file with an applet from my student-CD, I click on an error-message for more details to get this window for the forum to click on,

then got this other window to click on for the details themselves.

javaConsole.JPGThis window says:

----------------------------------------------------
c: clear console window
f: finalize objects on finalization queue
g: garbage collect
h: display this help message
l: dump classloader list
m: print memory usage
o: trigger logging
q: hide console
r: reload policy configuration
s: dump system and deployment properties
t: dump thread list
v: dump thread stack
x: clear classloader cache
0-5: set trace level to <n>
----------------------------------------------------

So, I have the following questions:

1. First of all, should I just get security-setting help instead of Java-help?
2. How do I get this web-page to work without any of this stuff happening?
3. Is the latter-window merely a set of instructions to follow?

I notice that I did just that, but the medium-level didn't work, and the low-one made the computer show this:

In other words: I should just trust what's in the CD anyway, and know that anything won't go inside the computer without me knowing this, right?

I see what you mean. Now I know the only problem for me is getting the html-file to display an applet. I use this kind of html-code format for it, so tell me if it's outdated and/or flawed:

<APPLET CODE="Filename.class" WIDTH=anyNumber HEIGHT=anyNumber>
</APPLET>

I noticed something else, and it's been happening the whole time, even after I tried what you said. My browser (Internet Explorer 10) has been restricting my page from running scripts or ActiveX controls. I tried to consider the browser's other internet-options, but that didn't seem to work. Is there anything else I can do?

I finally fixed the problem with the given security advice by installing the Java Runtime Environment before I applied the advice itself. So, thanks Norm. This thread is solved.
