Well, my problem with the latest HTMLConverter is it doesn't actually do anything. It takes the raw applet tag and reports that there was nothing to do. If I use the standard "converted" applet page, well it just grabs the old plugin so the new SDK basically doesn't help applet problems... but then you're saying that's probably not what I want anyway. And with nothing changed, I'll still have browser crashes when I use the Java 3d applets (clue... the crashes have something to do with removing the Canvas). My suspician is that its a plugin issue, not an SDK compile-time library issue. I will make sure my mime types are right though. > Regarding the email below, I don't believe I ever stated that > support for EMBED will be dropped.

This is a problem because HTMLConverter's solution to handling the widest possible configurations is to use Javascript which crashes IE6.0 as soon as the browser touches the file. -- John =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
