I was trying to view some maps on a web site and received this message:
'Your browser is not configured to show Java 1.1 applets to view this map'
What does this mean, and how do I configure my browser?

Hi

Which browser do you have?

You need to have Java SE Runtime installed aswell as enabling Java applets to run in your browser settings.

Hi chequer

Here's a link to a site that can walk you through all the configuration possibilities --- http://www.javatester.org/configuring.html

That same site has tabs for topics that help you find what Java version you have on your computer, or if you don't have a version you need - there are links to where you can download it, and they have instructions on how to install it (very easy! -- just run it's installer program).

If you are running IE7, Java applets will often bring up a message up near the IE7 toolbar = as a security precaution, IE7 prompts for you to Allow or Deny the script to install and run (true also for Active X controls).

Best of luck

Gary,
I went to the configuration site as you suggested but when I got as far as, instruction 2, on the Configuration page,
( 2. Select the Advanced tab and scroll down to " Java (Sun)" ), there was no " Java (Sun)" listed.
I also tried to find the version I have by the DOS method, but I have no idea how to open the a.k.a command from the C:/Windows\System32> prompt
I don’t even know how to find out if I have any version of Java Script on my computer.
I printed all my Advanced setting options, and would have liked to have you check them, but as they fill A full A4 page I didn't know if they could be posted on the forum. ( can they )?
Would you mind if I sent them as a private message if I can't post them on the Forum?
Do not reply before Sun 7/01.2007 as I have to change 'My Profile's' email address..

The problem was that I didn't have Java Script installed.
I have now installed Java Sun JRE 1.5.0_10 and everything now is OK

I would've (I'm sure Gary would too) told you that after your last post, but you made it clear to not reply till 7th. Anyway, glad you got sorted. :grin:

Kalim,
I don't know what you mean by stating I didn' reply until the 7th. ( 7th of when? )
Today my date is only 5/01/2007, yours, I presume, may be 4/01/2007
Any how I replied to you on 4th. Jan 2007 my time.
As you may have guessed I am not all that familiar with Forums or computers and it took me a while to find out if I had Java installed.
Please don't reply until Sunday, two days time, as I am having satellite broadband installed at 1500hrs Sth. Australian time and as I will get a new Email address I will not be able to update My Profile's email address until tomorrow, 6th. Jan 2007 my time.
