Hi,
But how many potential users will be trying to download using
Konqueror? None of the other browsers I tried showed any signs of
having an applet, and in fact the page was rendered fully within a
second (or to put it another way, there was no delay over the usual
rime it takes for a page to load and render in any common browser
(although, who knows what IE might do?)
FF3 under XP loaded an Applet for me...
Yes, it does indeed run an applet for certain browsers, I guess
Konqueror and Win IE among them, that don't support the navigator.plugin
property in JS (1.5 presumably) correctly.
My experience was pretty good from work on this one. I'll see what it's
like from my slower home connection when I get a moment.
This particular script uses a more conventionally approach to Java
version detection (running an applet) than the other one I experimented
with, but at least it seems to work for all the browses we're testing.
So, further testing. I would really like to resolve this...i.e. detect
the Java version the client has installed rather than just dumping
(perhaps) an additional JRE on them. I find this kind of approach bad
from a maintenance standpoint (security updates, etc) to say nothing of
downright confusing.
