Updated again: Now I downloaded the j2re-1_3_0_01-win.exe version from the Sun Java web site and installed that. After re-booting, the CFTREE control now works ok with IE6. But this is a temporary solution because if I reinstall the java runtimes for everyone, the first time someone goes to a site that wants to download a newer version, they're going to do it and it'll break this app again.
So ... .we have a temporary answer, but it's very precarious because someone could break it any time now. I sure hope MM get to work on an alternative, or I could find an alternative that works as well and as quickly as CFTREE. So I'm open to suggestions please. But don't suggest Flash PLEASE! We don't have CFMX and aren't going to have CFMX any time soon so Flash remoting is out. And the earlier version of Flash was an impenetrable fog for me and the client isn't going to afford to pay me or anyone else to develop a whole new version of this app in Flash 5.

Both looked logical ways to achieve the result we wanted. But sadly they didn't work. I reinstalled Java1.3.0.01 and all looked well and good, but sadly it still didn't pass the form variables over, so I'm no closer to fixing the problem. Any other ideas? Could something else be affecting this as well? A setting in IE6 perhaps?

This was done for our project management site. We are using IE6 it works fine for us. We are still using CF4.5 Shawn Regan -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 6:52 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFTree and IE6 - broken - an update Late last week, I posted here that I had a problem that it seemed Macromedia didn't want to know about, and I thought I'd give you an update. The problem is that CFTREE (and I assume CFGRID) don't work with IE6 or NN6.2 browsers. They'll display the tree but not pass the node values to the form. So CFTREE applications appear to work at first sight, but when you click "submit" on the form they're passing values to, you get an error. This is apparently related to the versions of the java plugins and the version used by CF5. (I have no idea if the problem is also in CFMX. I don't use it yet.) Well I posted here that I was disturbed that people had been complaining here on this list and on the dev centre forums that this problem exists and no one from Macromedia would acknowledge the problem existed and therefore pay any attention to looking at a fix. Apparently the solution was to rewrite all the applications to use some other technology. In other words a "Tough sh*t" solution. I got a reply from Neil Clark of Macromedia who said he'd make sure I was told what's happening about this issue, and if there was nothing happening about it, he'd see what he could do about getting it on someone's agenda. There has been a brief exchange of suggestions which I'm in the process of working through. The point is, I wanted you all to know that thanks to Neil Clark, a resolution to this issue is on the way.
