Java VM

I have an applet on my page. It looks like:<br />
<applet CODE="hm35.class" NAME="HotMedia" WIDTH="394" HEIGHT="233"><br />
<param NAME="???????" value="*.???"><br />
</applet><br />
<br />
Now for my question: Rumours say :D there are still some users who don't have the Java Virtual machine installed. How can I get the site to automatically Download <!--more--> the VM if it is not installed?<!--content-->The better solution, IMHO, is to let them know that they are missing the VM and to give them link that will allow them to Download <!--more--> it if the choose. Using the Object tag instead of Applet allows you to do something like:<br />
<br />
<br />
<object codetype="application/java" code="hm35.class" width="394" height="233" standby="Applet is loading..." name="HotMedia"><br />
<param name = "?????" value ="*.???"><br />

(I'm so enthusiastic having found something that works because I'm just updating a page that was created by NetFusion... I HATE THESE TOOLS because the source codes are just a **** chaos, thus making updates a pure fun *sighs*)<!--content-->now that microsoft VM is gone, the number has dropped<!--content-->you can still Download <!--more--> the original Vm from microsoft, the version that works with allmost 99% of pc users<br />
