Hi
I have an applet in a web page that works fine but I need to convert it to an OBJECT element because I know it doesn't work unless the browser is the same, and if it has the same Java as I have, i.e. Sun Java, not MS.
I've tried several things and just can't get it to work. I know about the Sun reference pages for how to set up the classid but still, the object ends up as null. I guess it's not loading but have no clue why. The applet should at least appear as a white block, but all I see is the logo before loading.
The applet provides functions to an HTML form. Below is how it's called. I compiled with Sun's Java JDK 1.5 SE and have the same Java set up in my browsers - IE v7 on a Vista machine and IE v6.0 on a Win ME.
This is the code... in a Javascript block:
document.polyApplet2.compute(func,arg); //// JAVASCRIPT ERROR ON THIS LINE. polyApplet2 is null
result = document.polyApplet2.resultJS;
Then,
<applet name="polyApplet2" code="PolyApplet.class" archive="jarPolyApplet.jar" width=50 height=50>
</applet>
---------------------------------
In the applet is
public String resultJS = "";
public void computeJS(String func, String poly)
{
the program
}
---------------------------------
I have both the jar file and the class file on the server for now. Prefer the jar file but will ue class if Object requires it.
I tried this OBJECT code:
<object classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0015-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA" width=50 height=50
id="polyApplet2" archive="jarPolyApplet.jar">
<param name="code" value="PolyApplet2" />
</object>
---------------------------------
any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Wrong classid? Are the parts CAFEEFCA and ABCDEF... literal or to be replaced by something?
thanks in advance.
