It loaded all its graphics and got its Java applet partly loaded. There came a point at which it raised a Java General Plugin Exception, in a window from which I was not able to copy the displayed listing. I can see, however, that some of the lines speak about native methods, which makes me think the clever programmer saw fit to use Windows-specific calls, thus advancing Bill (Osama) Gates' agenda for killing Java any way he can. The truth is that the site probably needs an applet like it needs a hole in the head. It's just an e-store with a shopping cart, and there is nothing there that couldn't be done without making any demands of the user's browser. Once the word gets around that anybody can be a web designer, amateurism like this is all that can be expected. I don't know why it behaved differently here from what you see. I also don't see any indication of a name for the plugin that the applet is looking for. If someone will look at the site on a Windows machine, he will probably see a working applet. My own reaction in your position would be to write to Alltel and explain to them why you have to take your business elsewhere. -- Stan Goodman, Qiryat Tiv'on, Israel Please replace "SPAM-FOILER" with "sgoodman". 200 years of European fecklessness in the face of Arab terror: Tripoli Pirates (1814); OPEC Oil (1973); Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat (1990 et seq.) -- but actually financing it is a 21st-century European wrinkle.
