Java applets in Notes client error

Hi,

I have users are not able to launch java applets that are received in Notes emails, most of the time the html content shows, but the hyperlinks and/or java applets don’t work.

Here is the errors:

Dialogbox error #1:

Title: JavaScript error

Message: A JavaScript Error was encountered. Error: ReferenceError: ValidatorOnsubmit is not defined.

choice: 1) Skip executing JavaScript on this page 2) Don’t show any more JavaScript errors on this page

Doalogbox error #2:

Title: Lotus Notes

Message: Invalid URL syntax

Is this error related to Lotus Notes or the web site that this email come from?

any idea?

thank you

Alexandre

Subject: Java applets in Notes client error

Hi Alexandre,

I found recently that the notes client doesn’t support certain HTML and JavaScript functions in the same way as a browser, which I guess to a certain extent isn’t surprising!

If your applet is called using JavaScript it’s possible that the client doesn’t know how to process the calls, hence you’re getting errors.

Also, it’s worth noting that if you use iNotes any javascript within messages is parsed out of the message anyway to prevent malcicious code from being executed when the user opens the email.

Therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised if some functions are disabled for security reasons in the client for the same reason.

Have a look in the Domino support area - I wouldn’t be surprised if there are technotes for these types of issues.

Hope that helps a little.
