Demo Test . . .

[F Smith]

Hi:

Please go to <a href = "http://www.eden.com/~barefoot"> this link</a> and tell me if the applet loads for you.

It hasn't been optimized for Netscape yet, so IE users will see a cleaner version. Sorry.

If you can't hit it, please post here. If you can hit it, please post here!

Thx.

It works for me using Win95 and IE 4.01

Yes it works. Win95/Int.explorer.
Glad you put up the alt.F4 info.

[Mark_Everson]

It doesn't work for me with either N4.06 or IE5.0. I got both of the versions as "supported" downloads from the cable company that's my ISP. One thing I'm beginning to suspect is that the friendly cable folks may have done something bizarre. Any suggestions from any web browser jocks out there?

I'm Very glad its working for the others... I can always run it locally anyway.

These strange compatibility problems are really annoying, aren't they?
How will you debug and upgrade the program if the versions that run for us do not run
for you and vice versa?

Yes Peter its really a pain http://apolyton.net/forums/frown.gif . I had no idea it would be this twitchy to get the thing to work right on different machines. I think as we gain experience there will be less problems. Debugging is no problem. I can run what F_Smith has if I bring it to my machine and start it up, we already checked that. Its just over the web that it doesn't work. Rather than problems in development, I'm a little concerned about distribution of the final product. However that is still quite some ways away, and I think these things will improve as time goes on.

It works for me with NT4/Netscape 4.5

[F Smith]

Boy, ya'll think these are compatability problems? This is a dream!

Imagine if we were to do this the old-fashioned way -- c++ and native calls!

Many people wouldn't be able to play it *period*. And you wouldn't be able to view it over the web -- *period*.

This is heaven, believe me. We'll work this out.

Write once, run anywhere?

More like write once, debug everywhere... :-)

The main problem I've had is with the browser VMs, especially Microsoft (as usual).

Getting their latest VM upgrades from the Microsoft web site usually helps.

hehehe.



Agreed, the prob is certainly related to the VM. Altho it works for him locally, which also may mean it's an HTML/Javascript thing, since I've got some 'cookie' code in there, and some DHTML simple stuff. But wierd, none-the-less. I'd assume that IE5 *has* the latest, greatest Vm, but I could be wrong.

Bump-ski

[LordZarm]

Used Netscape and it worked fine.

[Mikael]

It was all right with Win98 and IE.

[mca]

Seems ok on NS4.5 for Linux.

[F Smith]

Good, good, and great.

Glad to know Linux won't be a prob. Anyone have any ideas what Mark's problem might be?

[F Smith]

True.

Mark, maybe you should re-install jdk 1.2?

[JimC]

I wouldn't assume that IE 5.0 has the latest and greatest VM - this is Microsoft we're talking about, remember??

They're 'new' technology has never failed to be buggier than their older stuff...

[Blade Runner]

It is work for me. :-) Win95 / Netscape 4.51 and cable modem. Mark try N4.51. I got problems with N4.01, IE4.01 and IE5.0 before.

[pandj]

It worked for me with Win98 and IE5.1

[Druid2]

Worked for me. Netscape Communicator 4.05 / Win 95b, dialup modem.

It ran inside the frame from apolyton, so suggestion: put it in a window of it's own.

[Rebel]

Ran fine Netscape communicator and win98.

[jacobo]

I have netscape 3.0 and win95 and couldn't start the applet because of a "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"
