openGL demos!

Note: These pages will only work on machines with openGL installed, and probably won't work very well in netscape 4.7 and lower, since it don't use apple's java properly. Try safari or IE 5 on osX macs. Note: with Safari and IE I'm getting ClassNotFoundException when I goto these pages as http, but they work if I drop them on the browserby hand (which has the effect of viewing them as FILE.

Mozilla is often giving me "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:" (There is some object tag that we're supposed to use--is that the problem? Or is it bothered by osX or server os9, or doesn't know where to look for applets (default loc near browser? codebase?)or is restricted by some security setting or what?? --miker, oct02)

xhtml book says (pg 433): <object classid="java:appletname.class" archive="url url" codebase="url" data="url" codetype="...">
You don't have java
</object>
With the following explanations:

archive	"Specifies a space-separated list of addresses for archives containing resources relevant to the object, which may include the resources specified by the "classid" and "data" attributes."
class="..."	"Assigns a class name or set of class names to an object." (is this a dom thing?)
class="..."	"Indicates which STYLE class applies to the element." (is this just a decorative thing? Why are there two class attributes?? TYPE?)
codebase="url"	"Specifies the absolute or relative location of the base directory in which the browser will look for data and other implementation files."
codetype="..."	"Specifies the MIME type for the object's code"
"Assigns a class name or set of class names to an object." (is this a dom thing?)
classid="..."	"Specifies the location of an object resource, such as a Java applet. Use "classid='java:appletname.class'" for java applets."
data="..."	"Specifies the absolute or relative location of the object's DATA."
type="..."	"Specifies the MIME type of the OBJECT" (as opposed to MIME type of object's code??)
