Your problem is much bigger then you wish to know.
Lets first start to whisper, because the nerves of the people at Squeakland,
the guys form the swiki & the plugin-crew are a little overstimulated: The
work more the hard to repair all these problems, but every time they kill
one, ten new ones pop-up. (Something like the Medusa-head)
- If you visit www.squeakland.org, they show you an overview of the browsers
that do support the plugin:
#Explorer on Windows, should be higher than 4.5 but not higher then 5.5 SP1,
neither 6.0
#Explorer on the Mac idem
#Netscape under Windows should be higher then 4.0, you say 4.77 works fine,
but 6.1 does not
#Opera 12(?) does not work, the plugin thinks that it is Netscape
(opera also does not expect a clever sidebar menu like the one of
Squeakland: ends up in mess)
#Sun's Star5.2 does not work under Windows.
Uploading has the same kind of problems: Explorer does no longer support
uploads in the new release of Comswiki, Nescape does upload but no plugin...
Lesson one: do never trust the world outside Squeak: Stay in the zoo with
the Squeak-animals behind the bars.
Lesson two: do never try to help the outside world with clever improvements
(like the sidebar-Squeakland-menu)

A weird story: during the browser war one company did accept
for display ill formatted html-pages
Users thought that the other browsers were less robust
So the others also had to do the same
Creative webdesigners did create wondeful effects using this principle
Every story about XML does start with this ill html-browser-concept
A browser like Opera does show pages according to the W3C rules,
a nice option is that you as designer can turn on/off the
stylesheet effect to make more robust pages.
Checking the startpage of Squeakland....

Wish I could help, but I'm still in chapter three of Mark's book: Joe in the
