"How to Add Games to Your Site" Blog

Visitors that don't have Java Enabled

Once you post Java games to your site, you'll starting getting emails like this one: "We are having a problem trying to access the games. We click on the game and a blank box comes up."

The problem is that these visitors do not have Java enabled in their browsers. Here's the two-fold solution:

1) First you should either create or find a Web page that explains how to enable Java in a browser. My Java explanation page is here .

2) Second you should add a link to it within EACH of your Java games, so that those that don't have Java, will see the message with the link instead. Any text you include within the APPLET tags that is not within a PARAM tag will display for those who don't have Java --- and be ignored for those that do have Java properly enabled.

Here's the what the code should look like:

<applet code="YourGameApplet" width="357" height="400"><param name="bgcolor" value="ffffff"><param name="bordercolor" value="AAAAAA">This game requires Java.  For more information <a href="yourjavalink.htm">click here.</a></applet>
