    Pool menu effect error

    I use a java applet on several web pages that is no longer functioning
    in my browser. I use IE 6 (fully patched). When I use Internet
    options/Advanced to select the MS browser plug in for java, the applet
    loads and functions correctly. When I select the Sun browser plug in
    for java the applet doesn't load and Sun's console returns the
    following gibberish. (I'm sure it isn't gibberish to everyone, just
    me):

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
    Name: PoolMenu Version 1.0

    Author: David Griffiths

    This is an interactive applet class which takes an

    image and covers it in virtual water.

    For more information about this and other applets

    go to http://www.demon.co.uk/davidg/spigots.htm

    Created with Sun JDK 1.1

    I attempted to contact the applet's author via the site listed in the
    code above, but it is no longer hosted at that site. So I guess my
    question is, does anyone know how to fix this so that the applet works
    for IE 6 with Sun's plug in, or perhaps someone else has written a
    newer script for this effect that I can download?

    Thanking all in advance for time and attention to this issue.

      Have you asked in a Java newsgroup and read the documentation that came
      with it?

          1) This is where I was directed by a user in another forum. Am I still
          in the wrong place? If not, could you please direct me to a more
          appropriate group?

          2) Yes, I've read all the documentation (minimal) and the applet has
          worked fine for over a year, is still working fine, provided my MS
          browser is using the MS java plug in. Once I change to Sun's plug in,
          the applet completely fails on pages I have designed and when I go to
          sites where others are using the same exact applet (same author, same
          code), if it does load in my browser, the effect behaves in a sluggish
          manner.

          Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my post.

              A Java newsgroup. comp.lang.java, for example.

              Perhaps the fault is with the browser. Try a proper one, such as
              Internet for people, not profit
              http://www.mozilla.org/
              Mozilla is the not-for-profit behind the lightning fast Firefox browser. We put people over profit to give everyone more power online.
