Subject: The Nasty "Waiting for the Applet to Load" problem
To: [email protected]
A number of people have published solutions to the nasty issue of the time
it takes java to load and then for the applet to load.
Like everyone else, I put up a 2d image of the molecule while java does
it's thing.
Unlike the other solutions that nominally use a control to request the 3d
only if you want it, but then still subject you to the load time,
but only if you need the 3d features, I moved the applet off screen to the
top using position absolute where it can load in peace, then when the app
ready callback is
called, I eather put up the 2D/3D radio buttons and let the user toggle
back and forth instantly or I just replace the 2D image with the applet. I
size them the same
so the screen does not bounce when I swap them.
The problem with display: none; is that the java does not load
asycnrounously when the applet is present but not displayed.
Moving that applet off the top of the page but still displayed solved that
issue. I assume others would find that useful.
