Java Forum / General / March 2006problems with a JAVA-Fish tank on my site
I'm having problems with a JAVA-Fish tank I put on my BLOG today. The Fish are suppose to move around in the tank. It seems to work just fine in Safari and Opera Browsers and even in my Explorer on my OS X system. But I heard for mot Explorer Users it will not work and just displays a lifeless little image. Why is that, and can I solve that problem ? take a look : http://www.jumpingpixels.com/ Thank you, Greetings from Hansi >I'm having problems with a JAVA-Fish tank I put on my BLOG today.

This is the latest salvo in Microsoft's anti-Java war. Older versions of IE don't have the problem. If that does not work you may have too old a Java. See http://mindprod.com/applets/wassup.html to find out what you have. You want 1.5 For some other browsers see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/browser.html  SignatureCanadian Mind Products, Roedy Green. http://mindprod.com Java custom programming, consulting and coaching. > Try clicking the image to prod it to life.

This was not a voluntary measure on their part, they were *forced* to do this as a result of the Eolas lawsuit. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2003/oct03/10-06eolaspr.mspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate/ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945 Even though I don't use IE on the Windows machines I use, I've avoided installing the update that does this. Since it's not a critical security issue, it comes up as an optional update on Windows Update. Users might also be able to uninstall it.

When faced with a lawsuit, most parties will try to maximize their own interests, not those of unrelated third parties. >> On Sun, 26 Mar 2006 19:47:28 -0600, Alan Krueger >> <wgzkid502@sneakemail.com> wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > When faced with a lawsuit, most parties will try to maximize their own > interests, not those of unrelated third parties. Most companies don't consider their customers unrelated third parties. Most software vendors don't consider their developers unrelated third parties. It's the customers and developers who get hurt when important interfaces and backward compatibility are broken. > Most companies don't consider their customers unrelated third parties. > Most software vendors don't consider their developers unrelated third > parties.

Eolas is done with Microsoft, there are other targets it can focus on, like Opera, Firefox, etc. (Though if they don't, you can bet it's because they wanted major cash out of the patent, not protection of their patented software process.) Microsoft has plenty of problems worth complaining about, but getting bitten by someone else's otherwise-unused software patent isn't (IMHO) one of them. If you want to take a swing at Microsoft about this, point out that they're doing the same thing to other companies through pointless innovation-squashing software patents, and that this ought to teach them a lesson.
