Hi, I don't normally use the <APPLET> tag, but according to my O'Reilly reference it is deprecated and <OBJECT> should be used instead. According to the book <OBJECT> was initially implemented by Microsoft and Java support was added later. In any case, you might try using <OBJECT> to see if the 'archive' attribute works in IE.

Hello,

I think the problem is the end slash "/" in your param attributes (<param name="panels" value="1" /> ). Remove them (/) and normally your applet should works..

The code should looks like this:
<applet code="Ticker.class" codebase="http://java.barchart.com/ticker" name="Ticker"
width="430" height="27" align="middle" archive="Ticker.jar" id="Ticker">
<param name="panels" value="1">
<param name="1:symbols" value="'April Delivery,CLJ7:Crude Oil,RBJ7:Gasoline,HOJ7:Heating Oil,NGJ7:Natural Gas,'May Delivery,CLK7:Crude Oil,RBK7:Gasoline,HOK7:Heating Oil,NGK7:Natural Gas">
<param name="1:scroll" value="-1, 25">
<param name="1:bgcolor" value="#000000">
<param name="1:fgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="1:scolor" value="#00CC00">
<param name="1:ngcolor" value="#FF3333">
<param name="1:hilight" value="#CCFFFF">
<param name="1:font" value="Arial, Normal, 12">
</applet>
