Hi,

I'm betting that this question has been answered before, but I can't find the answer anywhere.

Does anyone know of a script or other work around that allows an alternative still image to appear if the user isn't able to load ptviewer (because they don't have java or for another reason)?

Thanks!

The ALT attribute can be used to give alternate text for browsers that recognize the APPLET element but do not support Java or do not have Java enabled. Authors can also give alternate content between the start and end tags of the APPLET element--a better method than using the ALT attribute since it allows authors to include HTML markup in the alternate content and also works with pre-HTML 3.2 browsers that do not support APPLET.

An APPLET may contain PARAM elements to define applet-specific parameters. PARAM elements should be specified before any other content of the APPLET element. In the following example, a decorative Java applet takes two parameters. The APPLET contains an animated GIF as an alternative for non-Java browsers.

<APPLET CODE="Animate.class" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=100>
<PARAM NAME=img1 VALUE="/images/1.jpg">
<PARAM NAME=img2 VALUE="/images/2.jpg">
<IMG SRC="animation.gif" ALT="" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=100>
</APPLET>

Some Web page software (GoLive CS2 for instance) also offers "Show Alternative HTML" in which you can add HTML text and images to the Applet window to be shown if Java is turned off or not loaded.

Hope this helps!

John
