Good Day,

I am a potential buyer testing ImageUploader on Mac and Windows platforms.

Windows and Mac Platform:

-The Active X/Java bundle which is supposed to switch over when it detects my browser will not switch, it defaults Active X

- Java version will not work on Netscape 7.2 (Mac) and Netscape 8 (Windows) even though proper java applets are installed (it will not start the java applet)

Mac Specific:

-Java version wont work on Firefox, the java applet will load, and i can search images to uplaod but when it waits on response from our coldfusion server when the upload is about to be done, it will re-try and eventually give me the coldfusion error about "Unidentified author for form"

-Java version on Netscape will not work because netscape wont load java applet.

-The active X / Java bundle will default to active x instead of detecting and switching to Java.

Thanks a lot in advance for your responses.


-The Active X/Java bundle still defaults to Active X

Thanks for your reply.

My most important concern is your Active X / Java Bundle not switching and defaulting to Active X all the time regardless of what browser or platform youre running.

Please keep me posted and let me know if you need any information.

What version of Image Uploader and Netscape do you use?



Image Uploader requires JRE 1.4. Some Mac browsers require MRJ Plugin and Java Embedding Plugin to be JRE 1.4-compatible.

These browsers do not require these plugins:

Safari

Firefox version 1.5 or later

Camino version 1.0 or later

Seamonkey

For more detailed answer please post the content of Java console.

iuembed.js script writes code for Java version when Netscape displays like Firefox, and for ActiveX one when browser displays like Internet Explorer.

However ActiveX controls are not enabled in Netscape 8. Here is screenshot how to enable its support:



I am not sure whether we should always display Java applet for Netscape, however if you think so, than you can do it the following way:

Code:

//Create JavaScript object that will embed Image Uploader to the page.
var iu = new ImageUploaderWriter("ImageUploader1", 650, 400);

//For ActiveX control full path to CAB file (including file name) should be specified.
iu.activeXControlCodeBase = "../ImageUploader4.cab";
iu.activeXControlVersion = "4,0,22,0";

//For Java applet only path to directory with JAR files should be specified (without file name).
iu.javaAppletCodeBase = "../";
iu.javaAppletCached = true;
iu.javaAppletVersion = "2.0.18.0";

if (isNetscape8()){
    iu.javaAppletEnabled = false;
}

..//

//Tell Image Uploader writer object to generate all necessary HTML code to embed
//Image Uploader to the page.
iu.writeHtml();

Note, you should implement yourself isNetscape8() function for Netscape 8 detection.
