JavaTM
Java is one of the most important new technologies appearing on the Web. Unlike other data available on the Web such as audio or video files, Java applets are actual downloadable software components that can bring new and powerful functionality to Internet Explorer. Java applets can be as rich and varied as any Macintosh application but with the size and variety of the Internet behind them. Imagine a live stock ticker that dynamically updates a spreadsheet. Or an income tax calculator that is always up-to-date. With the power of downloadable software components come new concerns for the privacy and security of your system. Internet Explorer gives you peace-of-mind by providing you with complete control over what a Java applet can do and cannot do. At the highest security level, you can prevent Java applets from accessing your local hard disk drive or sending and receiving information over the Internet, thus guaranteeing the integrity and privacy of your personal data. Alternatively, you can choose to lower the security on applets you trust.

Cascading Style Sheets
Style sheets make Web pages come alive through their support of fonts,
spacing and margin control, color and image backgrounds. This new
specification from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) gives Web page
designers greater design flexibility by describing a whole new set of tags
for adding visual features to HTML. And most importantly, you can control
the entire appearance of a Web site from a single file thereby allowing you
to update the look of every page on your site simultaneously.
For more information on style sheets, visit http://www.microsoft.com/workshop/author/howto/css-f.htm
Internet Ratings Support
Internet ratings support allows parents to filter out Web sites that could be inappropriate for their children. Parents can use password protected categories and rating levels assigned by SafeSurf and the Recreational Software Advisory Council (RSAC). For example, parents can specify whether their child view sites that contain profane language, nudity, or violence.

ActiveX®
ActiveX native support provides a rich environment for Mac developers to create content-rich, interactive Web pages. For more information on ActiveX, visit www.microsoft.com/intdev/sdk/mac.
- First, you need a physical connection between your Macintosh® computer and the Internet.
- If you are at work and your computer is attached to a network that has Internet access, you can use it to connect to the Internet. Check with your network administrator for more information.
- If you are at home or your work network does not have an Internet connection, you can use a modem to connect to the Internet via phone lines. The faster the modem, the better off you are. The fastest dial-up connection that most common Internet service providers (ISPs) support is 28,800. If you need a faster connection and your ISP supports it, you can install an ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) line to your house.
- Next, you need to connect to a host computer unless your Macintosh is directly connected to the Internet.
- If you are at work and your computer is attached to a network that has Internet access, check with your network administrator for more information.
- If you are at home or your work network does not have an Internet connection, you need to contract with an Internet service provider (ISP). ISPs have many levels of services. Look in local newspapers and magazines, Internet magazines, and talk with friends to determine what type of service you need.
- Finally, you need Internet software so that your Macintosh can communicate with the Internet.
- MacTCP and TCP/IP are control panels from Apple Computer Inc. that enable your Macintosh to send and receive information. Your ISP or administrator will give you the information you need to configure these control panels correctly.
- MacPPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a freeware connection package that enables your Macintosh to communicate with your ISP. If your ISP does not support PPP connections, you may need to use SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol). However, it is best to find an ISP that supports PPP connections, because it is newer and offers better error correction and more features. Your ISP or administrator will give you the information you need to configure MacPPP correctly.
Internet Config is a third party application that allows Internet
applications to share preferences. For example, if you have already set up an Internet connection using Internet Config you do not have to retype the information in Internet Explorer. You can also change the mail and news applications accessed from the Internet Explorer toolbar using Internet Config. If you would like more information
about Internet Config or would like to download a copy, visit Internet
Config Information.
