Re: LAS applet problems
Jon,
I tested Netscape 7.01 and IE 6.0.26 under WinXP (Version 2002) at
Kofler's page and they both appear to work. They also both appear to
work fine with the LAS 6.1 page.
Since they both work there was no "graceful fail-over" needed and so
none of this is probably news to you. But, hey it was easy to check so
I did.

Hi all,
We've been getting a few complaints that, on some browsers, LAS v6.0
stops working when one arrives at the 'Constraints' page that contains
the applet. This appears to be primarily associated with inadequate
support for Javascript calls to applet methods in those browsers.
The following page has a compilation of browsers that support Javascript
calls to applet methods and a small test:
http://kofler.dot.at/browsersupport/jsapplet.html
If a browser does not support this functionality, there is little that
can be done in LAS except provide a nice fail-over to a no-applet
'Constraints' page. The as yet unreleased LAS v6.1 should fail-over
gracefully and is available for you to test here:
http://stout.pmel.noaa.gov:8680/v61_beta/servlets/dataset
Note that you can force the inclusion or absence of the applet by adding
the '?use_java=false/true' parameter at the end of the URL. This will
set state in the server and be remembered throughout an LAS session.
Thus, to run LAS with no applet you may try this URL:
http://stout.pmel.noaa.gov:8680/v61_beta/servlets/dataset?use_java=false
If you've had problems with your browser please test the ~v61_beta~
site. We're interested in hearing from you if:
1. your browser DOESN'T cause LAS to go into no-applet mode AND the
applet doesn't work
1. please test your browser at the ~/jsapplet.html page
2. report back with the test result and your OS and browser
versions
2. your browser DOES cause LAS to go into no-applet mode BUT your
intrepid testing gets a positive result from the ~/jsapplet.html page
1. test your browser on LAS with ?use_java=true
2. report back with your LAS results and your OS and browser
versions
And if any of you have further suggestions on how to improve our browser
support (suggested plugins, etc.) we'd love to hear them.
From the bleeding edge of write-once-run-anywhere,
... thanks a bunch,
-- Jon
