Border : Java Glossary

If, borders, the above Borders Java Applet does not work…

1. This Java Applet needs Java 1.3 or later, version 1.6.0_10 recommended and a recent browser.
2. You should see the Applet above looking much like the screenshot. If you don’t, the following should help you get it working:
3. If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, try another browser. Seriously. Microsoft has taken great pains, over and over, to screw up Java and every other multi-platform standardisation.
4. If you are using Internet Explorer 7 or 8, you must allow blocked content permission for Active X to run. This also gives permission to Java to run. Click the Information bar, and then click Allow blocked content. Unfortunately, this also allows dangerous ActiveX code to run. However, you must do this in order to get access to perfectly-safe Java Applets running in a sandbox. This is part of Microsoft’s war on Java. Don’t put up with it! Use a different browser.
5. Especially if this Applet has worked before, try clearing the browser cache and rebooting.
6. To ensure your Java is up to date, check with Wassup. First, download it and run it as an application independent of your browser, then run it online as an Applet to add the complication of your browser.
7. If the above Applet does not work, check the Java console for error messages.
8. If the above Applet does not work, you might have better luck with the downloadable version.
9. If you still can’t get the program working click HELP for more detail.
10. If you can’t get the above Applet working after trying the advice above and from the HELP button below, have bugs to report or ideas to improve the program or its documentation, please send me an email at.
