I've wrote a applet and a html, when open the html with IE6, there's always a gray box there? I don't know why I cannot display it. I can just play it well in a appletviewer.
I use inner class in my applet, does that matter?
pls help me, thx a lot.

You probably do not have an adequate version of java enabled in your browser. I have IE6 on a clean recent build of Windows 2000, and I too get the gray box. However, I've also installed java 1.4.2 from Sun and by enabling the Java plugin and it worked fine. So you either need to install the java plugin or install the microsoft jvm (I can never find it easily).
FYI, you will get a security exception trying to open files from an applet. It violates the "sandbox" security. You would have to digitally sign your applet and request priveleges to open files.

Tks, maybe it's the problem of microsoft. I'll try it later.
I know sandbox will stop me opening files, I was just trying to write some security policy file to change the default priority.

I face the above problem that contains some exception when I read the GIF file within the JApplet
I know sandbox will stop me opening files, I was just trying to write some security policy file to change the default priority.
How can I do it?
thanks

it's something cannot explain in one sentense. but I suggest you to run the policytool in jdk. then you will find you can change the policy by yourself.
try it and good luck!

hi Sean Lee
thanks for your time to answer my question
but I suggest you to run the policytool in jdk
I find the policytool in \j2re1.4.2\bin
Do I need to download the J2sdk?
Could you tell me the path that I can find it out?
thanks again

there's a policytool in j2sdk\bin, but I think it's the same with the one in j2sdk\jre\bin.
both of them are ok, I think what you should do is just set your PATH.
hope it helps.

Steps:
1) make sure You have installed JRE1.2~4.x ,
if ture
you will see the Java Plug_in in your control panel in win 9x/2k/xp
2)if it still doesn't work, you'd better open the java console to view the message inside;
3) if the message is about some security problem, try to use signature in your applet.
how to add digital signature in your applet?
a. make your class(es) int one jar
b. use keytool to creat your own digital signature file;
c. use jarsigner to add signature
d. while running the applet, accept the signature!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooood luck!

Yes, I know what you mean, I got the same problem at the begining. No worry, if it suggests you it cannot file the file, just create one and save it as it needs. and it works.

I edit the security file and the path of the reading java.policy file
And it works

But also one question occurs
Why the GIF file can not display?

It works in JBuilder and JDeveloper
But it can not work in web page(html file)
Any idea??
many thanks
 
I guess everyone has an angle. Fine, what do you want? Just know that you cannot have this tiny ad:
