Looks like this is my problem here. Pulled from a Knowledge Base article:
Internet Explorer browsers will not force a download of the 1.3 Java Runtime Environment (JRE) if an older version already exists on the client's machine. With Internet Explorer, the cfform tag does not distinguish the version of the JRE installed on the client's machine. As a result, cfform will not force a download of the 1.3 JRE if an earlier version is installed. This causes a variety of failures to occur when using thecfform tag. In particular, the applet, cfgrid will not display with a JRE prior to 1.3.0_01. Other applet controls will work with JRE versions prior to 1.3.0_01. WorkAround Rename the original JRE folder to force Internet Explorer to download the correct plug-in on the client machine. Temporarily rename any existing subdirectories in C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE. These subdirectories are named for the JRE versions they contain, such as �1.0.3� or �1.2.�. Run the ColdFusion page containing the cfform tag, which will force the browser to download and install the new plug-in. After downloading and installing the plug-in, restore the original directory name(s). However...I can't access the directory to rename it. Heh heh. Saying Access Denied. Gosh I really need to learn about Java and Jscript ;-) Should I just download a new JRE from SUN and install it? Or will that totally screw things up? Incidentally this machine has Oracle 8i on it, I'm using it as a sort of localised development environment for a project at the moment. I can't afford installing the new JRE so I can develop with CFGrid, and then have the Oracle installation fail at this stage of the game... Any suggestions, hints..tips... :) -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Angel Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 1:01 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFGrid 5 problems. Hey all, I'm getting lots of problems trying to use the CF5 JAVA Grid control. The applet refuses to initialise for some reason: java.lang.NullPointerException at allaire.controls2.CFGridApplet.adjustColumnWidths(CFGridApplet.java:295) at allaire.controls2.CFGridApplet.init(CFGridApplet.java:157) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Have any of you seen this before? How do you fix it? :) -Gel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
