The question you asked is very frequently asked (and answered) so many could
assist you. Your new question is not quite so clear to me, but security is
provided by the Java framework and is  not reliant on HTML. HTML itself has
poor functionality and could never quite harm your computer, regardless of
the browser or O/S you use.
