mistakes and how to fix them. IF YOUR QUESTION IS ANSWERED IN THESE FAQ's IT WILL NOT BE

NOTE: When testing LOCALLY -- TEST
IN INTERNET EXPLORER. NETSCAPE will not always allow local testing because of security
restrictions. However, as soon as the software is uploaded to a website, it will work in
both.
Common Mistakes and how to fix them:
- Make sure you have uploaded ALL .class files, image files (gif/jpg) and sound files
(.au, .wav) associated with the software
- Make sure you upload it in BINARY mode (as opposed to 'text' or 'ASCII' mode)
- Make sure your (website) license key is correct. (If you
were issued a key that started with a
minus sign (-), that is part of the licensekey. (I.e.,
licensekey="-123-123-123". This key is
applicable when running on a website.))
- Make sure you entered all parameters correctly. (I.e., make sure you are not missing
quotes ("), and that you have the opening and closing applet tags
(<applet></applet>)
- Do NOT delete any parameter tags! All parameter tags are essential to
the software, and if you remove any of them the software may not work.
- If you made changes and they don't appear to have been changed -- exit your browser and
restart -- because (especially) Netscape and Internet Explorer will not always reflect any
immediate changes because it is in its 'cache', including when you install it on a
website.
Other Steps to follow:
The SAMPLE that is provided in the full version works. If you have not been able to yet
resolve your problem -- do this:
- Make a backup copy of the full working version SAMPLE (i.e., copy it as
'sample_test.htm'
- Methodically change ONLY ONE parameter at a time, and then load it in INTERNET EXPLORER.
(You can also test in Netscape if running your test version off your website).
- If your change works -- great! Repeat the last step until you are satisfied with your
results. If it does not work, then first check the change you made until you get it to
work.
