Deploying Java Plug-in with Internet Explorer

With Internet Explorer it is recommended that you use the `APPLET` tag for internet deployment. However, you could use the `OBJECT` tag in certain cases; e.g., if you want users to use a particular version of Java Plug-in. In the case that the you chose to use the `OBJECT` tag, the following is recommended.

### Recommendations

The following is recommeded for long-term reliability:

- For the `codebase` attribute in the `OBJECT` tag, it is recommended that you use the `.exe` version, rather than the `.cab` version, on `java.sun.com`. That `.cab` version on `java.sun.com` may point to an updated version that you do not want to use for your deployment.
- It is also recommend that you create your own download site for the versions you need so that you do not rely on `java.sun.com`. Downloads on `java.sun.com` frequently change.

These are the same recommendations as for the intranet environment.
