Does this applet work for you?

Hello all,

I have found a solution to get the full file path of a file that is about to be uploaded using a Java Applet. I need this for an internal system not anything else "dodgy"!

Can anyone confirm if this works in an IE6 browser: http://www.maschek.hu/preview/ffx3%5Ffile/filepath.html

I have an IETester application that has IE6/7/8 in one place and all IE6 does is just load/wait for the page and it has been 10 minutes. I am trying to determine if this applet will work in IE6?

Its using PARAM tags so is that a no? This has worked on my IE8.

To get this to work, do I need to do more than change the PARAM tags to Object tags?

Thanks all

If you want to test your application in IE6 you could use the Internet Explorer Application Compatibility Virtual PC Images supplied free by Microsoft. This will probably be more reliable than asking other people to do it for you.

I was hoping someone would try it out and then help me answer questions further down.

Not sure why this was downvoted - it's a good and free way to have a set test environment.

Its a browser Sandbox. You can run any browser from the web. Very useful stuff.

Thanks, this looks more reliable than what I am using. I find that the applet is initialized which is a good thing but any function calls made to it, crashes IE6 and closes the browser! I need to open a new question I think as I have no idea why that happens, there isn't even any log files I can look at!
