For JSyn Plugins on Windows (PCs) with Netscape Communicator
Known Bugs
The Netscape browser can periodically unload and then reload a plugin when
switching windows. If JSyn tries to call the plugin at that moment, then
Netscape can hang. I have provided a
JavaScript
solution that seems to prevent the problem if used in a website containing
JSyn Applets.
The JSyn plugin does not appear to work under the new Netscape 6
because they changed their interface! The JSyn plugin will be updated ASAP
to conform to the new Netscape. In the meantime use Netscape 4.x.
Troubleshooting
If Netscape cannot run a JSyn Applet, then please check the following:
-
Are the files "npjsyn.dll" and "npjsyn.jar" installed in the"Netscape\Communicator\Program\Plugins"
folder? If not, please install the JSyn plugin for
Netscape on PC.
-
Did you restart your browser after installing those files?
-
Did you see a new window open up that mentioned EMBEDing the JSyn plugin?
If not, the web site designer may be using the old technique of EMBEDing
the Jsyn plugin directly in the web page.
If you still have problems I suggest using the most recent versions of
JSyn and version 4.73 of Netscape..
Turning on the Java Console
You can get more information and error messages from the browser if you
enable the Java Console. Please cut and paste these error messages when
reporting bugs. Select the "Tools/Java Console" Item from the "Communicator"
menu.
