Why would this download be unacceptable to the client? If you create a gif or
something dynamicaly and then display it on a webpage I think it should work
pretty well.
Anyway, I've read that IBM is planning on including their Java plug-in with all
there new machines that ship with WinXP. Things change but this sounds like a
step in the right direction. I think that Sun is encourageing this with most
large vendors.
Unfortunately I've also read that with M$ pulling their JVM out and all other
Java compatible software that they used to supply, that they are also updating
their security preferences to default to regard Java applets and such as
unsecure. If true this would me that people who don't know enough to change
their settings may just get a dialog box that would say their viewing
potentially hazerdous content with no option for a plug in. They would have to
know and download the plug in themselves.
Looks like M$ will grab at whatever strings they can. Sore loosers.
