Hi Darel,

Have you ever considered replacing the Java applet with something that's pure JavaScript or even plain HTML?

For example, take a look at the following site where they offer an Open Source (BSD licensed) JavaScript tree menu:
http://www.treemenu.com/


It seems to me that the Java applet has never worked well in the Information Center... It takes a long time to start up, and causes problems with different browsers, and the really frustrating part is that I can't see why it's necessary to use an Applet for this.

Hi Joe, at a high level, the function we relied on to handle interaction
between the Java Applet and the JavaScript in the content was defective.
This problem manifest itself in different ways in different  browser
application / JRE / OS environment configurations.  The manifestations in
our InfoCenter application ranged widely.  At one end, the system simply
did not execute the functions provided by the java->javascript interaction.
In this case, users might not even notice that something wasn't happening
as designed.  At the other end, the problems were more severe and the only
way to regain control of the system was to manually kill the browser
process.  There were also a number of variations in between.
