[mapserver-users] Mapplet problems.

[Richard Greenwood]

I'm guessing that maybe Java is disabled in your browser. (Check Tools, 
Security, Custom Level, Scripting). Or try another browser. Or try this site:
http://www2.tetonwyo.org/mapserver and select the Java interface which used 
mapplet). Then at least you can tell if it's your browser or your 
server/application.
