Re: LAS applet problems
Title: Re: LAS applet problems
Hi Jon,
Here's some results from Roy Mendelssohn's
tests:
Netscape 7.01 on MAC 0SX 2.3 works on the Koffer applet test
page but rolls over to non LIve Map on the LAS 6.1 test
page.
He got the same results for Safari that someone else already
reported. Lynn
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
