Applet embed tag is returning ClassNotFoundException

I have an applet jar file cia.jar and the class in it main.class and I have my class in the package com.gmail.connorbphtml.WebApp. I am trying to embed my applet into a webpage. When I am trying to do this I get a class not found error.

The applet works fine in Eclipse but then when I try to embed it it does not work.

Here is my HTML using embed:

<embed code="main.class"
archive="cia.jar"
width="200" height="200"
type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.6.0"
pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads"/>

I have been having this problem for months which made me give up applets because I can't get this working.

Does anyone know what went wrong?

The results from jar -tvf cia.jar are:

Code should not contain .class extension. Try this.

<applet code="com.gmail.connorbphtml.WebApp.main" archive="cia.jar"
width="200" height="200"></applet>

Also you did not include the package name in the code attribute.

Use deployJava.js to write the element for the applet.

E.G. adapted from the page:

<script src="http://www.java.com/js/deployJava.js"></script>
<script>
    var attributes = {codebase:'.',
                      code:'com.gmail.connorbphtml.WebApp.main',
                      archive:'cia.jar',
                      width:200, height:200};
    var version = '1.6';
    deployJava.runApplet(attributes, parameters, version);
</script>

The script will write the appropriate element in the correct form for the browser/OS on which it is running.
