I don't understand why browsers (Netscape, MSInternetExpl., etc.) are not up to date with your "javakey" made certificates...

I made a SIGNED applet that accesses multiple IP addresses and it works just great in your appletviewer! I try to load the applet in Netscape 4.06... SECURITY VIOLATION!!!

I finally found a text on the Netscape site stating that javakey made certificates are not compatible with theirs!!!

What should it be???
-Sun making a tool that creates certificates that will work in browsers...
OR
-Browsers accepting javakey certificates

Thanks
