Now that I try it on my Windows machine here at Uni, I'm seeing the same thing (which means that I really NEED to fix it, it'll drive me batty OW).

AE, out of curiosity, you're machine isn't a Windows box is it? What version JRE do you have installed?

I'm beginning to suspect that there may be some difference in how screen layout is actually implemented between Linux (my test environment) and Windows in the JVM.

I also noticed that it's squished vertically on my Windows browser. I'll try pulling the height of the applet out a bit too.

It's all Swing. And yes, this is not the first time that one of my Applets doesn't quite appear exactly the same across several patforms. Normally it needs just a bit of tweaking. Hopefully, that's all I need to do this time. 8/

Interesting.

All I can think of is that it might be an older JRE you have installed with your browser. I checked this morning with W2K, IE6 and the applet worked fine (besides that odd field compression).

Email me the stack trace if you like. I'll take a squiz and see what the JRE is complaining about in your instance.

The logo is the only thing that needed WizKids permission. I wanted a filler for the empty table. I had a couple of backup plans JIC they weren't happy for it to be used this way, but I liked this one the most so I figured I'd see it through before trying plan B.

Not quite sure what you're asking...

If it's just a case of not knowing the target number, that's an open test, and only the highest roll matters anyway.

If you're interested in seeing the actual results per die, that's something I'm naval gazing on. I'm guessing that you'd want the full list of numbers for "test" rolls to see how many dice roll to a certain value. It doesn't really fit with my vision of the dice roller (which is really a convenience toy for doing ACTUAL game dice rolls).

I'll add this to a wish-list. If enough people want it, I'll put serious thought into adding it in.

Can you send me a screen shot of the applet running in your Environment please?

Ahhh... point taken. Ok... It's a definite feature for v2.

Ummm... no. Point me at it please ? (showing his ignorance)

As to the background vs font intefering with other, I was afraid of that. More pondering needed. I'll probably just pull it off.

But these attributes are missing:

Don't know if that means anything or not.

There are no Title Attributes to these applets either, in case that matters.

In your 3rd <DIV> there is an IFrame. There seems to be a comfliction in IE as to that IFrames sizing...at least, that's my guess.

As to the applets not showing themselves...I'm lost there.

IE isn't even close to standards compliance. I made a decision way back that if you've got IE, you've far bigger problems than having my web-page render. I'd rather stick with the standards, which (I know) alienates many, many IE viewers. As a consession, there's nothing stopping someone wanting to embed the applet in an IE compliant web-page., I'm happy for people to do that so long as they put a link through to my page-set.

The next two pictures are easy enough to diagnose. Your firefox browser doesn't have a JRE installed. That's something you'll need to do for yourself. I've supplied some basic instructions for it at the top of the page.

Edit: I do it because of what I may one day add to the site, not just to be snarky. Though I do so love being snarky.

If I actually WANTED them to scrag off, perhaps. You've just given me an idea though, for what I could in the case of IE users that won't break my CSS compliant pageset.

Of course, but I fail to see how it excuses M$ from at least making the attempt. Perhaps Bill can't justify the expense to his shareholders?

The offer still stands for someone with an IE compatible pageset to co-host the applet. I'm more than happy to supply a link through to that with wording to a similar effect.

Well, it isn't Gates' choice. It's the choice of the people who code IE. Go have a rail at them.

Ummm... Tanka, I really don't want this to turn into a M$/non-M$ bashing session. M$ can do their thing, and I'll do mine. It's a big enough planet for the both of us. I'm REALLY not having a rail at M$. Apologies if that's the way it's come across.

I'm actually rather ambivilent about the entire IE thing. I wanted a certain look-and-feel for my web-pages that I could only achieve with applying CSS in a certain way. Unfortunately, it's not something IE handles. I have no interest in (or time for) writing reams of javascript code that tests against IE/vs non-IE browsers to serve up different content. My web-page set is more of an experimentation ground than a serious attempt to please everyone.

Please... how about turning all the enerygy you're pumping into angst into something constructive instead?! What about helping me find an IE friendly home-away-from-home for the applet? Hmm? Will you accept that as an olive-branch?
