missing modes

allonestring

I'm battling with my school's learning platform(*) trying to get it to run applets and thought that I'd try javascript mode instead. I started Processing and tried to change modes; only java is available so I clicked add mode.

and get masses of errors.

Help!

I'm at school behind a firewall, using a proxy - don't know if that's relevant; and the school's internet filtering stops me asking google for answers!

[* Do have a look at the homepage (http://www.thelifecloud.net/schools/KeepHatchPrimarySchool/) - I'm dead chuffed with the design :-) I did the banners in Processing and exported to animated gifs.]

Hi,

The first line says "Connection refused". By your description it sounds like a very restrictive network. Could you ask the network admins what you could do about it? Maybe download it at home, or at a specific computer with more access, and then copy the Processing folder?

Congratulations for the banners :)
