Doesn't seem to like IIS 5.0 servers.

Wow, very very nice feature. This is a great mod, and like said above, great for color schemes, ect

The demo looks great, but I get an error when I put it on my IIS server that it can't find the colorpicker.class...

Any suggestions? I tried changing the applet=xxx line and I haven't gotten it to work.

quote the error message X

"Unable to load class colorpicker"

http://www.netwerkin.org/noncgi/color/color.htm

This is on one of my boards.

Try to redownload the file.

I don't know much about IIS 5.0 but check ur java settings.

Nope, no go, it says...

Load: class colorpicker not found

I run a lot of servers, and I'm a Senior Systems Engineer by trade. I have found that there are some applets that don't like IIS, but not many.

I tried changing that line to;

code="/colorpicker.class" and also to code="/noncgi/color/colorpicker.class" hoping that the path was the issue but no luck. I'll keep playing around with it and if I find the resolution I'll post it here.

try
code="./noncgi/color/colorpicker.class

sorry man. I can't think of anything esle off the top of me head.

Try

code="colorpicker.class" codebase="/noncgi/color"

Nope, but I really appreciate the effort. I'll find the solution and let you know. It's a great hack for those of us that play with the style templates a lot.

Same error for Unix server. I believe the file colorpicker.class is corrupted. Make sure you upload it as binary.

Vir, my suspicion was confirmed. I went to your demo page and download the class files as binary and upload them to my server. All is fine now.

DEMO

Xpert, just replace the 3 files below, it should fix your problem:

CanvasB.class

CanvasHS.class

colorpicker.class

Ill reupload it, but im sure i did it in binary.

Yeehaa...fixed it.

I've been using this one to stay web color safe...

http://www.netwerkin.org/webcolor.htm

seems like everything there is in groups of 2 or 4
IE: #224455, #222266, ect. Is there something about #124056 that would make it unsafe?

It's just a way to make sure that no matter what the color depth someone is using your pages look right in their browser (color wise). These days it's not really as important anymore.

Very cool, did you make the applet yourself?

LK, I think he got it from freeware applets at http://navsurf.com

Anyway, very useful stuff. Thanks, vir!

I just came upon this thread; this is something I could really use since I want my moderators to help give suggestions for changing color schemes on our templates, etc., but it's really hard because they know zero about UBB (hence, I don't let them near the control panel )

The links to the zip & Multihack aren't there; neither is Netwerkin's page. Anyone still have these files and care to share?

Thanks!
