OBJECT tag
I'm still having trouble grasping how this thing is supposed to work. I've read numerous tutorials on it and I'm still lost.
I wrote a stupid applet that simply prints a string to the applet. I made a web page that uses the OBJECT tag to display it on the web page. Here is the code that I used:
This works all fine and dandy however the applet window keeps telling me that the applet failed to initialize. I might be missing something because of it's absolute simplicity but here is the code that I have in the applet:Code:<html> <head> <title>Keyboard Test Applet :: Written by Greg Martin</title> </head> <body> <center> <object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4_2-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0" width="640" height="480"> <param name="code" value="KeyboardTest.class"> <param name="codebase" value="html/"> <param name="type" value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4"> </object> </center> </body> </html>
The KeyboardTest class file is located in the same directory that the web page is in so I don't see any problem there but I can't figure out what in the world is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in avance.Code:import java.applet.*; import java.awt.*; public class KeyboardTest extends Applet { public void init() {} public void paint(Graphics g) { g.drawString("Press a key...", 20, 20); } }
EDIT: And yes I am aware that the class id for the version of Java is lower than what's available but I figured that since I used dynamic versioning, it'd find the more recent one until I figured out how to properly use the OBJECT tag.
