Actually, you have a bug in your attribute value...here is the source from
your SwingAppletTester.html file:

<APPLET archive="SwingAppletTester.jar" code="SwingAppletTester" width=300
height=150>
Your browser does not support Java, so nothing is displayed.
</APPLET>

Unlike launching a java *application*, the "code" attribute's value must
include the ".class" extension. So the above should be

<APPLET archive="SwingAppletTester.jar" code="SwingAppletTester.class"
width=300 height=150>
Your browser does not support Java, so nothing is displayed.
</APPLET>

That it works without it in certain browsers is besides the point; the
".class" is part of the applet tag spec, so you should include it. See if
that fixes anything.

Subject: [OT] Java Applet on Win 98 - help needed.


We're desperately trying to get a Java Applet to run on a client's
Windows 98 machines. The Applet runes fine on Mac OS 9 - X, Win ME,
2000, XP and I'm pretty sure it worked also on a 98 box.

I've downloaded and installed the newest Java VM / Plug-in from
www.java.com and when getting back on this page, it tells me that Java
is installed. Unfortunately not even our simple test applet is working
(http://www.fastforward.ch/SwingAppletTester.html), which is simply the

standard applet you get when you create a new Java Swing Applet with
Project Builder.

On the other hand, it seems like the IRC applet from a local ISP is
working fine!?!
(http://www2.bluewin.ch/cgi-bin/chat/
chat.pl?channel=chathilfe&junk=false&mobile=false). The only difference

I could spot right away is the archive format. We're using JARs while
the IRC applet is a ZIP. Could that cause the trouble?

- Does anyone have a win98 machine at hand who could check our test
applet?
- Any experience with Java and Win98 that I should know of?

Thanks a bunch for your help and sorry for being so off topic!

-Will
