jar Format

Though Jar files aren’t exactly videos, they were placed with applet elements before (and these are now deprecated), but it is possible to place them with object elements… I wrote a small article about placing some Jar files… it is titled ‘Standards Compliant way of placing a Freemind Mindmap‘ (also available in HTML).

But, in order to place a jar file… you should use the double-nested, double-commented approach:

<!--[if !IE]>–>
<object classid=”java:freemind.main.FreeMindApplet.class” type=”application/x-java-applet” archive=”http://rolandog.com/freemind/freemindbrowser.jar” width=”600″ height=”400″>
   <param name=”archive” value=”http://rolandog.com/freemind/freemindbrowser.jar” />
   <param name=”scriptable” value=”false” />
   <param name=”modes” value=”freemind.modes.browsemode.BrowseMode” />
   <param name=”browsemode_initial_map” value=”http://rolandog.com/freemind/Polietileno.mm” />
   <param name=”initial_mode” value=”Browse” />
   <param name=”selection_method” value=”selection_method_direct” />
<!–<![endif]–>
<!–[if IE]>
   <object classid=”clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93″ codebase=”http://java.sun.com/update/1.5.0/jinstall-1_5_0-windows-i586.cab” width=”600″ height=”400″>
      <param name=”code” value=”freemind.main.FreeMindApplet” />
      <param name=”archive” value=”http://rolandog.com/freemind/freemindbrowser.jar” />
      <param name=”scriptable” value=”false” />
      <param name=”modes” value=”freemind.modes.browsemode.BrowseMode” />
      <param name=”browsemode_initial_map” value=”http://rolandog.com/freemind/Polietileno.mm” />
      <param name=”initial_mode” value=”Browse” />
      <param name=”selection_method” value=”selection_method_direct” />
