I am writing this document to point out an error that occurs in Internet Explorer while trying to place java applets with ECMAScript. Check out the following link if you would like to learn more about placing Freemind applets in XHTML documents .
The following code:
function cc() { //create content
function testfmA() {
var pA0 = crEl("param","scriptable","false");
var pA1 = crEl("param","modes","freemind.modes.browsemode.BrowseMode");
var pA2 = crEl("param","browsemode_initial_map","http://rolandog.com/freemind/Polietileno.mm");
var pA3 = crEl("param","initial_mode","Browse");
var pA4 = crEl("param","selection_method","selection_method_direct");
var oA = crEl("object","class","java","classid","java:freemind.main.FreeMindApplet.class","type","application/x-java-applet","archive","http://rolandog.com/freemind/freemindbrowser.jar","width","600","height","400",pA0,pA1,pA2,pA3,pA4);
return oA;
}
function testfmB() {
var pB0 = crEl("param","code","freemind.main.FreeMindApplet");
var pB1 = crEl("param","archive","http://rolandog.com/freemind/freemindbrowser.jar");
var pB2 = crEl("param","scriptable","false");
var pB3 = crEl("param","modes","freemind.modes.browsemode.BrowseMode");
var pB4 = crEl("param","browsemode_initial_map","http://rolandog.com/freemind/Polietileno.mm");
var pB5 = crEl("param","initial_mode","Browse");
var pB6 = crEl("param","selection_method","selection_method_direct");
var sB0 = crEl("strong","tn","This browser does not have a Java Plug-in.");
var bB0 = crEl("br");
var aB0 = crEl("a","href","http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/downloads/index.html","tn","Get the latest Java Plug-in here.");
var oB = crEl("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",pB0,pB1,pB2,pB3,pB4,pB5,pB6,sB0,bB0,aB0);
return oB;
}
var tA = testfmA();
var tB = testfmB();
tA.appendChild(tB);
appendChild("testfm1",tA);
}
Is the equivalent of:
function testfmC() {
var pC0 = document.createElement("param");
var pC1 = document.createElement("param");

Below this paragraph I will place two Java Applets with both code segments.
There should be two Freemind Mindmaps above, but the code doesn't seem to work in Internet Explorer, since it causes an error when appending an object to another object. There are errors on lines 43 and 179 in IE. You can click the following links to see the code created by the first function or by the second function . You can also compare it to the static code .
The following section is the 'static' version of code, just for demonstration purposes.
JavaScript is another name for ECMAScript. Freemind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. Questions, comments? Email: rolandog@gmail.com . Visit: http://rolandog.com/ , http://freemind.sourceforge.net/ .
