Troubleshooting & Support

  • Please send me any questions, requests or remarks you might have to: quickshare@excite.com
  • Usually the easiest way to customize the applet is cut and paste the applet tag information used in the sample and modify it to fit your web page.
    •
  • If you see a "class not found" message, this means what it says -- your browser can't find the .class files specified. You've forgotten to copy the .class file (menuscroll.class) to the necessary directory.
  • Make sure that your <APPLET> tag, closing </APPLET> tag, and all <PARAM> tags have < and > brackets. Check that the value for every parameter is enclosed between " signs.
  • If you see a NullPointerException displayed in the browser status-bar, it's most likely to be caused by a mistake in an parameter. Check it.
  • If the applet runs, but you can't make it do what you want it to do, please take another look at the documentation.
