I'm not sure about the relationship between an applet and an ActiveX control, and most of my development is for IE browsers (they have 90% of the market I hear), so I'm not sure I can help much here. If you can break down what works and what doesn't, it might help.
If the applet doesn't run correctly, I'd look for some Java release compatibility (maybe where activex comes into play). I think you can update the java release for the NS browser, but you'll have to get each user to do that. If, on the other hand, the problem is with the JavaScript, you should be able to conditionally generate working JavaScript for each browser (see PHP get_browser(). You might also enquire about the specs for the editing tool, to see if it supports other methods of encoding the document. Wish I could be of more help here, but I've about reached the end of my chain (knowledge) on this one. I guess it would be too much to ask, but if you have the Java source, most people can sort of read Java, even though they are not proficient with it, and that could tell you a lot. I am implementing a site with an Iframe, and having no problems with recent releases of Netscape, older releases are a problem, even with IE. I have another site that does WYSIWYG editing in IE and provides a TEXTAREA for those NS users who insist on using stone axes, and it presents one or the other by detecting the browser in php. good luck, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Dan Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 9:10 AM To: Todd Cary Cc: Vail, Warren; PHP List Subject: Re: [PHP] Integrating an Applet with PHP > why does it work in IE and not in Netscape 7.1? I'm pretty sure ActiveX controls don't run on anything besides MS Windows Lockinware (TM). There are a number of other things that netscape does not fully support (try loading a page with an iframe tag in Netscape). You probably ran into another such problem. -Dan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
