<<well I have to disagree with you on the macs and applets
Doug was just saying that he hadn't USED and applet in Mac NS, not that it couldn't be done.
 
<<when complaining about mac compatability.  I believe that we need to start talking about specific browsers.
What about specific OS's. Mac OS X has just been released (Europe), which contains a built in version of IE, which might be different than the current IE used on Mac.
 
On  a side-note, apparently shops were opening at midnight, and people cueing for hours to get hold of the new Mac OS X, which doesn't even support DVD drives or CD burners yet, they must be desperate!

well I have to disagree with you on the macs and applets.  from what ramon and I were playing with, all seemed fine when talking to a java applet using js in ns4.xx on a mac.

the only does not work in IE on the mac is because MS haven't bother implementing it.  they admit as much.

when complaining about mac compatability.  I believe that we need to start talking about specific browsers.  It would make no sense if I just posted say "XXX doesn't work in windows".

There is NO applet stuff in NS. Does none actually read my posts?:-)anyways, you did answer my question, the Java SCRIPT tree in NS works..so I can just detect macs and give them the JS version. ThanksDoug

 Myself and Romon Buckland spent a few hours working on the mac problems and found that all the applet stuff works in NS.  It is only IE that has a problem.

See the following page for more details of how MS has stopped short of making a real browser for the mac:

I just want to thank all of you for your help. I think I know why it does not work in Mac IE,you see, the data for the tree is loaded in advance in a separate frame,And the tree applet simply gets the data from the data applet in the other frame.. I'm guessing that cross-frame communication in Java is incomplete or non-existent in MAC IE.. bummer.. Just a question.. the NON-Java version that loads in NS, did this work on the MAC? If so I can just detect macs and give them the JS based tree (yes we have two trees) Doug
