i have a jar, and htm file, but no website. is there a way to get a free site, and if so, how would i get the applet running on the site every time you go to it?

Have you ever made your own applet before?

I would assume you upload the class files and the html that was autmatically created. Then you just change the directory of the files (in the html) to their new place (their url).

I'm sure you know what a server is right? You need to put the files on a server that is connected to the internet. I am know expert so someone else is going to have to tell you how to do it or you could Google it.

There is nothing server-side dependent about Java applets. You do not need to upload anything.

You do not need a "website" is what I'm saying. You can have your Java code and HTML file on your own computer, and load the HTML file in your browser.

As for the HTML, I really can't do a better job of explaining it than the thousands of existing tutorials.

i'm not sure if he wants it to run just on his browser. i think he wants other people to be able to view his java applet from their browsers which in this case i believe he needs to get some free website and upload his files. I might be mistaken though Confused

here is a sample html file. basically what you have to do is copy and paste the following into notepad. then save it as html file. Make sure its html!!! Also make sure you save it in the same folder as your program.

Note: Change the class name to your class name in this sample html file.

code:

<html>
<head><title>Testing Applets</title></head>
<body>
<h4>HTML Applet Tester</h4>
<p>The applet should appear below this text.</p>
<center>
<applet code = "NameOfClass.class" width="500" height = "500">
</applet>
</center>
</body>
</HTML>

Even then, such a measure is not necessary. He could just send the HTML file and the jar file he mentions in an archive to anyone interested.

Thats not the point i think. I think he wants to make it open to the public. I might be mistaken but i think he wants to create a website and on that website put up this applet so everytime someone accesses it then they will see the applet.
if this isn't true then you are right wtd because all he has to do is write it in notepad and save it as an html and it will automatically work in his browser.

Yes, he may wish to do so. It is not, however, strictly necessary.

YES THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT! just the ability to freely post an applet on a site of my own so it can be seen publicly. NOW can you help me?

If people seem reluctant to offer suggestions, it's likely because a huge number of good solutions are immediately available simply by googling for "free website" and the answer to your questions about HTML are available via searching "applet html".

We're more than willing to help, but you have to be willing to help yourself.

ok i have about 10 websites, none of them say anything like upload or "Put applet here" lol.

Any decent provider of such a site will have some way to upload files, either via a standalone FTP program, or via some form on their site.

Both the HTML and JAR files are simply files.

I read that phrase about 30 times... and it's been hurting my head since the first time.
Anyone else feeling that way?

why shud i be banned... wtd kept on flaming and eventually this turned into a flame war. all i needed was an answer, not a "go figure it out on ur own". thats why you ask a question. if you know the answer, then say it. otherwise, dont flame. that simple. and you guys dont even belong here... your just taking this flame to a new level. jeez...

so, back to the uploading to a website... some of my friends get the error message that a class isnt found, however, i have a jar file (Java ARchive) with ALL of the classes and ALL of the files it uses, PLUS a manifest to tell it which is the primary class, but now the error is it can't find the primary class written in the manifest. whats even weirder is that it works for me and about 10 other people. how is this possible, if for one person it works, and the other it cant find a file which is CLEARLY in the jar? yes, the htm file and jar file are in the same folder, and yes, i tried putting the 'missing' class in the folder, but it didnt do a thing. it has something to do with the jar, even though i put it together perfectly. any ideas cuz im totally stumped. try NOT to flame Very Happy

I relay don't think it is a great idea to be saying "haha didnt even need your help... not that you gave any." and then asking for help. The peoleop hear are not payed to help you and do it out of the goodness of there hearts.

To pervent futher falming by either side i am locking this. If you think you can ask your question in a way that is not inusalting please feal free to make a new topic.

I disagree, wtd provided you with a link that would have solved your problem had you read it and understood it. You're lack of understanding is irrelavent to his having provided you with help. Stupidity is not an excuse.

After you continued to post saying that you didn't understand and that you wished for someone to post helping you in english (which coincidentally all articles linked to are written in) others besides wtd posted possible solutions. You acknowledged that cool dude knew what you wanted to do but seemingly didn't try his solution; instead demanding yet again that others help you.

After wtd provided with yet more links and fairly simple instructions you turn around and do the internet equivalent of slapping him in the face by saying he didn't help when it's very clear that he did quite a bit to try and help.

If people continue to post like you have (and unfortunately you are not alone in being a childish moron) then I fear for the future of compsci.ca. When someone new posts asking a question it is impossible to know if they will actually even try and follow any suggestions you make, or simply demand that you solve their problem for you. As a volunteer willing to help someone learn it is rather aggravating when solutions to problems that most of the time I could care less about are demanded of me. Like most others I am sure, I value my time quite highly, and when people make me waste it by ignoring help I provide and demand I do more. So when I see people who have never posted before asking for help I am now more and more hesitant to post a reply, not because I can't solve their problem but because I do not wish to waste my time on someone who can't even help themselves.

When I say "I" I am speaking as one of the many members who contribute much of their time here (wtd being the most notable). These people are the ones whom we wish to keep as a community; the people who should feel most valued so that they continue to contribute and help people who really are trying to learn. Without those people compsci.ca is nothing more then a place for people to whine about how no one will do things for them, and I for one don't want to belong to a community such as that.

So why do I think you should be banned gsquare567? Because you, and those who act similarly to you are bad. You rot the core of our community and take away from the joy we get helping others. In essence, you suck. So please, either start acting like a decent human being and stop being an asshole, or bugger off and leave our community to those who really want and need it.
