Re: Physlets on a Mac



The best hope is Mozilla (www.mozilla.org). LiveConnect is not
supported by Safari, IE (for the mac), Camino, or other Mac browsers.
However, LiveConnect is still buggy in Mac versions of Mozilla. I think
that Mozilla 1.3 (and maybe even 1.2) was actually better than 1.4,
which seems like it took a step backwards in this regard.

The hope is there--but the promise isn't.

While we are on the topic of physlets, does anyone know how to get a
mac (preferably os X, but os 9 is ok) to run applets that require
LiveConnect (ie: java to javascript communication)?

Perfect examples are the Physlets found at webphysics.davidson.edu.

I can run simple applets, but not phjyslet problems or physlets that
rely on LiveConnect.

Thanks in advance,
