Please also refer to my problem listed below : Load (class name) not found.
After experimenting quite a bit, I come to the following conclusions:
With IE 6.0 SP1, Java 2 v 1.4 option selected (Internet options advanced), an Applet compiled on the same machine (XP JDK 1.4), the browser craps out most of the time but I can sometimes see my applet in action (vertical scrolling text).
Same setup as above but Java 2 v 1.4 option NOT selected, the browser runs but the applet does not start and gives message "load: class (class name) not found"
With Netscape Navigator version 7.0, the browser runs but the applet does not start and gives message: "java.lang.ClassFormatError Bad major version number"
On another machine running IE 5.5, I get the same result as with the machine with IE 6.0 SP1 with the option NOT selected in advanced options. (class not found)
I will recompile my applet on a SDK 1.3 environment and this will probably work since it did before.
Can someone tell me what is the best approach to design applets that will run on the web? When I encounter a site with an applet and if my i.4 IE advanced option IS SELECTED, my browser will crap out most of the time...
I am trying to design an object that will accept DB input for scrolling text, and size and speed parameters. I do not want to modify the web page everytime we need to change the text. I thought an applet was the best way to do it but with the incompatibilities I am running into, I question that approach.
Any ideas or explanations of the above situations?????
