Question for programmers about Java applets for website [Vanity]

Sounds like you should be able to find something written in Javascript to do the job. Keep looking around. I know there are some Javascript WYSIWYG text editors out there.

Did you actually obtain the applet and supporting files, or just copy the code from another web page?

You must have the actual applet on your web server and change the code to point to it.

Also, if you use Javascript, use Firefox with the Firebug plougin so you can debug the Javascript.

I just copied the code.

Thanks everyone for your help. I’ll check in on the thread later, but methinks I am a bit in over my head even with this right now (I’m not a programmer at all - simple HTML is about all I know of web-based programming)....

If it is a running applet, you have to get the program itself which is contained in the root of the web site. You can't just use the code on the page.

All the code does is point to where the program is located and tell it what to do once it finds it (how to load, where it goes on the page, etc.)

Just leave all the ports on your website open - eventually some java applets - amongst other things - will install themselves..

Okay, thanks a lot!

You're welcomeGoogle "inserting web components" and you'll get a lot of info.

Good luck!

Thanks LVR, I did finally figure out what I did wrong. I was forgetting to download and place the .class file in my root, as people on here said. The applet is working fine now, and I learned a teensy bit about web design!
