    Default Re: applet fail

    i have been searching and found no info that fixes this yet ><
    the closest was when i got a thing that said i needed to sign the app
    it gave info on how to self sign it but that still didnt help any .

    does any 1 know what could be wrong
    ( will upload a jar soon that works in the applet viewer but not in the browser, also will contain the source )

    Do you not have to specify the .class ending in the applet tag?

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Test Applet</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <APPLET code="main\UI.class" archive="test.jar" width="500" height="400">
    you need to have java installed to use this applet  
    </APPLET>
    </body>
    </html>

    // Json

    Make sure that you have the correct Java plugin installed (probably is), and also make sure that the jar file is in the same directory as your html file.

    You could also try removing the main\ from the code parameter:
    HTML Code:
    <applet code="UI.class" archive="test.jar" width="500" height="300">
    you need to have java installed to use this applet  
    </APPLET>
