title: Java applet no longer functional in Internet Explorer under Java 8u60
body: <p>I maintain a few applets used for a website and Java 8u60 makes them just not fire. I'm not sure exactly what's going on.</p>
  
  <p>Here is how I declare the tag for IE:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"&gt;
     &lt;param name="code" value="com.mysite.myapplet" /&gt;
     &lt;!-- other params --&gt;
  &lt;/object&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>One detail: the applet must not fire on page load, but on a button click, so the above tag is generated by Javascript, which injects the HTML into a div's <code>innerHTML</code> property. Is there a workaround?</p>
