That's muddled: there was no Sun big applet event, I needed to do a demo inside Netscape to get everyone on the "it's possible to do Mocha" page.
And the VBScript threat was later, from Microsoft doing it in IE3. If I'd missed the Netscape 2 boat, it's likely VBScript would prevail (Netscape 3 was originally 2.1, and 4 was originally 3 but delayed a year; find "Collabra-driven" in https://www.jwz.org/doc/groupware.html).
