Notes about plugins

I have users that want to visit my pages with tclets, but they do not
|
||
|
|
have the plugin. What can I do?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add a pluginspage=http://www.sunlabs.com/tcl/plugin/ name=value
|
||
|
|
pair to the embed statement. This will cause Navigator to find
|
||
|
|
the plugin for your user and suggest they install it. The user
|
||
|
|
is then prompted to download and install the plugin, and then she
|
||
|
|
has to restart the browser and revisit your page. Very inconvenient
|
||
|
|
and only slightly better than giving your users the broken image
|
||
|
|
icon. Netscape says they are working on a more automatic solution.

||
|

14. Your demos work just fine, but when I visit my own pages with tclets in
|
||
|
|
them, at http://www.myserver.com/~mypages/mypage.html, I still get the
|
||
|
|
broken image icon. Why doesn't it work for me?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is likely because your web server -- the program that sends
|
||
|
|
the pages to your browser when you click on a URL -- is not
|
||
|
|
sending the right mime-type when it sends the '.tcl' file. You
|
||
|
|
can work around this by adding a type=application/x-tcl name=value
|
||
|
|
pair to the embed statement, which will cause Navigator to infer
|
||
|
|
that it should use the Tcl plugin anyways. A better solution is
|
||
|
|
to ask your system administrator to configure the web server to
|
||
|
|
send the mime type application/x-tcl when it sends files with a
|
||
|
|
'.tcl' extension. Nearly all web servers in the world nowadays
|
||
|
|
are already configured to do this, the only ones we are aware of
|
||
|
|
that do not are some older versions of Apache.
