I recently "inherited" a project which involves an applet on a web
page, and
some Javascript event handling functions. The handler definition looks
like
this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript FOR=Foo EVENT=mouseReleased>
<!--
Foo_mouseReleased();
//-->
</SCRIPT>
where Foo is an applet with parameter FiresScriptEvents set to TRUE.
The
function Foo_mouseReleased() is a simple javascript function that just
alerts
a fixed message so I know it's been called.
When I run this applet in a vanilla IE5.5 or IE6, it does exactly what
I expect - when the mouse is released, up pops my alert. BUT when I
run it on the same browser with Java Plug-In 1.4.2 installed, I don't
see it. Is there some compatibility issue with 1.4.x? Can the code be
changed relatively simply to work with both VMs, or am I looking at a
big rebuild to support browsers both with and without the plug-in?
Thanks a lot,
Julian
