Answer 1

The below should work cross browser:-

In my tests both IE8 and FF5 required the "type" attribute. Any object classid attribute caused Firefox to fail. The mayscript param will be ignored by Java plugins after 1.6.0.10. The scriptable param is still required according to javadocs 1.6.0.21. In a test with 1.6.0.24 for a signed applet, IE8 called it OK from JS without scriptable being set true.
