You think this is the issue, even keeping in mind that the batch plays through entirely (with no problem) when we click the link at the bottom of the page where it says "try to mozilla plugin version? Once we click this the first time, and the plugin downloads, we are good to go from there...
I just don't think the undergrads will be as persistent if they encounter any problem at all.
What you describe certainly isn't consistent with a launch technology issue. As I said, *no* script would run without the Inquisit engine having been installed to the system via one of the available venues (JavaWebStart, NPAPI plugin, ClickOnce, ActiveX).
What goes exactly goes on, I have no way to tell without access to your files and launch page.
Hmm, I'm super confused. Here is the link to my launch page: http://research.millisecond.com/lbens/Batch.web
Are you able to access my actual script if you have my username (lbens)?
Thanks for the link. Interesting -- this only seems to happen when the JavaWebStart launch method is used. Not sure why, offhand. We'll investigate. For the time being, you may want to disable JWS via the WebScriptWizard. This will enforce the plugin launch method.
Sounds good, I've disabled the JWS. Thanks for investigating further as well.
