Hi,

If you have experience with web-development (html,css,javascript) at a level in which you understand the mechnanisms behing javascript broswer plug-ins..

Then I really need your help! I will give you 300fg if you solve the problem at hand.

The problem:

I want to run my website (local drive not on a server) which has an embedded mathematical user interface utility, the problem is that it calls a script that blocks the utility from working (presenting an annoying message to the user with a link to install it) unlesss of course the user has installed it for their browser already (its called the cdf player). This is annoying... because I need to do a presentation on tuesday with my website (locally hosted on the day at the college) of course I am not going to stand around and install a plug-in mid-presentation which will likely end up being blocked by the college firewall....!

My solution so far:

I have placed all the plug-in software (javascripts etc) into my a local website folder so that my website can easily run the software for this utility without needing to install the plugin (which I would otherwise have to do for the colelge presentation). In order to bypass the annoying "you must download the plugin" blocking message re-rpogrammed the javascript that does the blocking (take that u piece of crap!). But now... the browser simply errors out - it does not have a clue where the plug-in software is!!! and says I need to install the plug-in from somewhere... How oh how oh bloody how.... do i enable the browser to "realise" that the plug-in software is within the same folder as the website....

300fg for your help.. thanks! PM ME

Sounds like whatever is calling the plugin is looking in a very specific spot. Modify that file path.

If you are trying to display a CDF without having the CDF plugin installed it isnt going to work. It's like trying to view Flash based content without having installed. Without having the plugin installed your browser has no clue what to do with the CDF resources.

thanks bud, i guess i found this out the long and hard way lol

dammit..
