When I run it from the Processing IDE it works just fine. However, when I export the applet and try to run that from the browser, it doesn't work. Why might this be and what can I do? Thanks very much Jon

It is not possible to load xml from external sources. You can use php to pass the data to your application. Search the forum there are a lot of threads concerning this issue.

Re: proXML not working in applet form Reply #3 - Jul 24th, 2006, 11:00pm   Arrr, I've written a proxy script which work for sure because I've tried it from the browser... and I am trying to load it with my applet, but for some reason it's just not playing ball. Do you see anything inherently wrong with this? Code: xmlio.loadElementFrom(applet.getDocumentBase().toString() + "proxy.php?artist=" + URLEncoder.encode(subjectName)); applet is a reference to the processing applet (this is in a different class) Cheers
