In my quest to understand Smith Charts better I ran across a very
interesting site at Agilent
http://www.educatorscorner.com/index...ONTENT_ID=2482
Unfortunately, it would not work since I did not have Java on my
machine. A little Google time later, I located the necessary free
download (after reading of legal maneuvers) and installed it. Then the
link worked fine. Nice site, very helpful.

Since they offer a free download I thought it best to capture my own
copy of this for the future. After I download & unzip it, it does not
want to function from my machine. I would rather spend the computer
time with antennas rather than trying to figure out this computer
puzzle. Anyone have a SIMPLE solution?
TIA,

Just downloaded it and it works without any problems. Do you
receive any error message? What do you see at the bottom of the
"SChart.html" file (which is part of the ZIP-File), where the
Java-Aplett should appear?

Wow!
That was quick. What I see is like what happens on a HTML download
when a picture is missing. If I load the SChart.html file into
FrontPage and split the view with the source, the part that is
associated with the missing component is

applet codebase="./" archive="SChart.jar" code="SChart.class"
width=600 height=520
This experiment requires a bJava/b-enabled Web Browser.
/applet
I don't know if the system is unable to find the .jar or the .class
files or cannot resolve them.

My html skills are minimal and Java skills = nil.

Hi John,

I unzipped all the contents into a dedicated folder.

I double-clicked the file SChart.html located inside the dedicated
folder. Works fine for Firefox.

Same here. Maybe he's using a non-standard browser like IE [g].

Another option: http://www.qsl.net/ac6la/xlzizl.html

I am using Internet Explorer 6.
That is probably the key. I will give it try on my Linux machine.
I will look into another for windows as well.

Works Just Fine here in konqueror and Firefox on Mandrake 10.2.

It works very well on Linux with mozilla.

And it works fine using Camino on my G4 PowerMac. (Camino is rather like
Firefox, but it make direct use of Macintosh system calls and thus is
much, much faster than Firefox.) I had the thing working about 3 seconds
after downloading it. Java is Java is Java and should be completely
platform-independent. But if the original poster is using Internet
Exploder, that may the be problem. The mozilla.org browsers are safe,
they have Java built-in, and anyway he should replace IE with Firefox
for his computer's health's sake and not just to make Java work in the
browser.
