"Please wait while loading" message

[Stitson]

Hello,

In FP 98, I have placed a Java applet for a crossword puzzle on a
page, which now takes a little time to display on the net. Is it
possible to place a display message on the page where the crossword
should appear, such as "Please wait while crossword is loading", which
should disappear when it loads? Or are these kinds of messages
already built into the applet software?

Thanks,

Roger Stitson.

Java apps may never load on some people's machines because the newer ms os don't include JVM (java virtual machine) - those people will have to download JVM from Sun's website.

Sorry, that's not an answer to the question I asked. In fact the Java
applet I speak of only reqires Java 1.1 to be installed on users'
machines, which is quite old. So far everyone who has accessed the
page can load and view it.

1) Java applets do not have preloads since they write direct to screen
2) It doesn't matter what version of JAVA
If the user does not have a JAVA engine (read most Win XP users), or has JAVA blocked for security reasons (most corporate firewalls
block it) they will see nothing

Without the Java Virtual Machine, they won't have Java 1.1 or any other
version.
