I have a fairly simple
applet that a customer is trying to use, but it works on some of their PCs and fails to initialize on others. The applet lets the user input a name and password, then encrypts the password and sends the login info back to the server CGI program. At the customer site, all users are running Netscape 4.75 and Win95. I've installed Netscape (I hate NS!) 4.75 on a Win95 computer here but cannot get the applet to fail.
See it here:
www.intelebook.net/sabretest It fails during initialization before it gets to my init() routine. When I set the 'debug' param for the applet, at the point of failure I get the message:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.lang.StringBuffer.append(Compiled Code)
My code had only two places that used StringBuffer and I made a version that removed any StringBuffer code and I get the same message.
I'm fairly lost at this point. Any applet experts out there have any insight?
