N/A

This looks like a bug in IE7. IE7 interpret javascript or html tag different than IE6. The following is a sample testcase, which runs OK in IE6, but thrown runtime error in IE7 as this Yahoo applet, we need to file a bug against Microsoft:

This is verified by Microsoft that Microsoft did make a change in IE7 and fix a incorrect behavior in IE6, which is how to parse params when html file have both object and applet tag. Microsoft have talked to Yahoo and Yahoo agree to make changes to work with IE7.

Therefore I will close this bug and Java plugin won't change anything.
