adding html tag

peter_choe

I wrote an applet that will allow users to print their documents directly to the their printer. They are suppose to select the document that they want to print from the document folder.

The problem I have is that depending on the browser I am using (Firefox or Internet Explorer), I need to put different html tags.

That is to say if I want the print function to work in Internet Explorer I need to add <jsplugin ..../> into the documentFolderList.jsp file. This allows the IE to work, but when I try it in Firefox, the javascript that I call to print, can't recognize the <object> tag that the <jsplugin> created to call the applet method to print.

If I use the <applet...> tag everything works in Firefox, but with Internet Explorer, it seems that adding straight html to the documentFolderList.jsp file prevents complete rendering of the Workspace.

How can I put the applet tags so that Internet Explorer will understand the tags?

Why don't you just run some javascript at the frontend of your applet and call the appropriate file depending on their browser as a stopgap fix? You can grab the code right out of the index.jsp and the bcheck.jsp/bcheck.js files in the worksitemp webapp directory.

Then you can have code for both FF and IE (and more if necessary later) in different files; makes it easier to update as well. Got a few other things I need to do right now but I'll look at what you are trying to do later this week and see if you got a tag/piece of code out of place, FF is picky and only likes 'official' code. I've been single coding applets for FF and IE so it will be worth looking into for cases where I get a similar error.
