[X4U] OT-Java driven radiology site (correction)

[Lars Bertelsen]

I was a bit to quick off the mark here; in 
Firefox, the page loads without the eor message. 
But the applet in the main frame doesn't seem to 
load correctly.
One thing that comes to mind is that you are 
java-scripting the applet; I don't think that's 
supported on the Mac. That would be why yopu get 
the javascript errors.
Another is the codebase in the java applet:
 
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0">

that does look a bit Windows specific to me...
Mind you, I have litle practical experience with 
applets, so I may be dead wrong. Personally, I 
try to do my Java on the server, specifically to 
avoid this sort of browser-hell which almost 
always pops up with applets.
BTW, I'd expect you to see problems with Windows 
XP security too; it usually doesn't seem to like 
you to javascript applets across frames...
