Firefox Problems
Jun 26^th, 2005, 4:11pm

Hi,

I have encountered this wierd scenario regarding firefox and processing on os x.

Firefox will sometime ( 50% ) of the time load all the files correctly, but it sometimes crashes completely, ie. I have to force quit it.

It says Applet Initialized and then the cursor changes into a beach ball and nothing happens.

for example: www.arkitus.com/Valid/

Can you help me?

I don't know if it's a browser problem or a P5 problem, but it seems like it's the browser, because I remember other applets crashing it too. Did you set a framerate in your sketch? Sometimes that helps to keep it crashless.

thanks for the response; i was giving up hope.

yes, I have set a framerate. i have made some progress on the problem myself: firefox opens the index.html made by processing fine, but i have made some changes to that. since the index is being made by php, the applet urls are not in the same folder as the php, so what i have done is to use this:

Code:


<applet code='BallCollision' codebase='Experiments/BallCollision' archive='BallCollision.jar' width='800' height='420'>
			  <param name='image' value='Images/loading.gif' />
			  <param name='boxmessage' value='Loading Processing software...' />
			  <param name='boxbgcolor' value='#FFFFFF' />
			  To view this content, you need to install Java from <a href='http://java.com'>java.com</a>
			  </applet>

instead of

Code:


<applet code='BallCollision' archive='BallCollision.jar' width='800' height='420'>
			  <param name='image' value='Images/loading.gif' />
			  <param name='boxmessage' value='Loading Processing software...' />
			  <param name='boxbgcolor' value='#FFFFFF' />
			  To view this content, you need to install Java from <a href='http://java.com'>java.com</a>
			  </applet>

which is the default created by processing. but somehow this doesn't work. any ideas?

It took about 90 Seconds to load, but it runs fine on my
Fedora-core-3 Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 browser.

Nicely done.

Is it possible for you to render using double-buffering so that fast-moving balls don't show up as two balls in a line?

(Make the balls small, and shake a few times in a row to get them moving fast)

try opening the console (applications -> utilities -> console) and try to get your applet loading to fail, and see what spews out to the console because you should get some sort of error message.

also, there were some problems with firefox on osx (because it uses java 1.3 instead of 1.4) with recent versions of processing, so make sure you use rev 91 to export and re-test the applet.

We detected that one already was created for this browser. Using existing VM. Warning this VM MAY not have the expected Java Runtime Parameters.

Arkitus YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 32	Re: Firefox Problems Reply #8 - Jul 6^th, 2005, 7:28pm yes it does work. I have tried every type of calling an applet, and none of them work apart from the exported html. just removing the exported html & source code from its normal directory causes it to crash.
