Question- my simple applet won't run in Netscape. The error (when I run my mouse over where the applet should be) says "Applet can't start...Class not found"
This is my html code:
<APPLET CODE="DietDiary.class"WIDTH=364 HEIGHT=225>
</APPLET>
and the DietDiary Class is in same directory as HTML page.
What the heck is going on?
Thank you!!!! :)
Hi Jennifer! Is that the entire HTML code? If so, try the following.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<applet codebase="." code=DietDiary.class width=364 height=225>
</applet>
</body>
</html>
BTW, I am assuming that "DietDiary" matches the classname absolutely, including the case.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!
Check the console: *which* class is not found? DietDiary itself or some class that DietDiary uses?
Also note that having the .class extension is not necessary - it may even make NN search for a class called "DietDiary.class", that is, a class named "class" in the package "DietDiary".
Ugh...still not working.
DietDiary class is the one Netscape is looking for and I didn't declare any others within DietDiary.java. The exact message is: "Applet DietDiary can't start class DietDiary not found"
Here's my full HTML code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0">
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN="3"><IMG SRC="images/1.gif" width="778" height="160"></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><IMG SRC="images/2.gif" width="184" height="268"></TD>
<TD>
<APPLET CODE=DietDiary WIDTH=364 HEIGHT=225>
If you can read this......(will be replaced with other content)
</APPLET>
</TD>
<TD><IMG SRC="images/3.gif" width="228" height="268"></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN="3"><IMG SRC="images/4.gif" width="778" height="222"></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Any more tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
First, here is a good informational link :

You might want to look at using the Java Plug-in if you are going to widely distribute your applet.
Now for my editorial :-)
Just because you chose to use IE as your initial platform does not make Netscape broken or bad. It is just different. If you had chosen Netscape first, then you would have the same issues converting to IE. Unfortunately these rival browsers continue to do some things very differently and we as developers have to deal with it. It is important, in my opinion, to take the time to make sure your applications/web pages/applets work in MOST major browsers, why limit your audience? I personally LIKE Netscape, but I dislike the title of this thread. :-)
