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.
