Applet with BufferedImage won't run but will compile

Question

I wrote a simple applet with BufferedImage. Please note it is unfinished right now and shouldn't do anything other than do what the non-bufferedImage version does already, I'm planning to add some animation to it. It compiles fine, but when I open it in IE 6.0 (I haven't tested it in anything else) it just shows a grey background. I like to things:
1. Some people to tell me if it works on their computer and what browser they are using and
2. Someone help me with how to make it work on IE.
I use J++ 6.0 and it didn't reconize BufferedImage so I compiled with JavaC in JDK.
the applet is at: http://stonewallcs.com:83/~anyoneeb/test/page1.htm
The version without using BufferedImage is at: http://stonewallcs.com:83/~anyoneeb/ (the checkers label)

Answer 1

ok, I rewrote the HTML with the plug-in and it works... sorta, now I can see that I have a code error, but I can fix that myself probably
