Java applets run fine in Konqueror, but won't run in MS IE.


I am writing some Java applets for my friend. They run fine, when I view a page, which contains them, in Konqueror (or Mozilla) on Linux. However, my friend uses Windows 2000 and on his computer the applet does not want to run. Internet Explorer (we have enabled Java in options) reports something like: "Class foo not found", but there is foo.class file in the same directory as the HTML file, which loads fine into IE. I know this is LinuxQuestions, but I would really like to help my friend and I would really appreciate any help from you. Thanx.

BTW, I am using JRE and JDK from www.blackdown.org on my Linux computer.

It is a while since I have done anything with java applets, could you paste bit of the html file which calls the class file ?

BTW What JRE/JDK are you running on the MS-Windows machine?

OK, here is the code:

<APPLET CODE="textScroll.class" WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=40>
<PARAM NAME=MESSAGE VALUE="SomeText...">
<PARAM NAME=BACKGROUND VALUE=0xFFFFFF>
<PARAM NAME=TEXTCOLOR VALUE=0x80FF80>
</APPLET>

I am not sure which JRE is used on Windows machine. I guess the one that comes bundled with IE on Windows 2000.

Regards.

I believe it is case sensitive, so all I can think is to make sure it is the same case (I would make it all lower case to safe). MS-Windows can do silly things with regards the case of file names.

Thanks for the tip, but changing the characters of all the names to lower case does not change the situation.

grab the JRE from SUN, install it on your windows 2000 PC, it should replace the default VM for IE.

OK, that would be one solution, but what if I want to make it available for public? Not everybody will grab JRE from Sun and install it, just to run my applet...

I just found out, that the applet works well on Windows XP and does not on Windows 2000. So it's really a JRE issue after all. Windows sucks.
