Small problem...

[RAM]

For a while now (at least the last half dozen versions of message server) I have had a problem with how I use it for one chore. I have an event that triggers when I detect the doorbell has rung. It has message server push 2 images out to my PCs to show camera views of the front and back doors so I can see who is at the door. The message server command in the event is:

<IMG SRC="http://10.0.0.10/image.jpg"><applet codebase="http://10.0.0.60:4935/" code="b.class" archive="classes.jar" name="b" width="320" height="240" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="top" refresh="185"  filename="cam_2.jpg"></applet> 

That works fine. The only time I have a problem is if I'm not at home or don't close the window it opens before the message server client window closes itself. If that happens I end up with a gray blank window (about 250X200 pixels) in the upper left corner and a gray application bar in the bar along the bottom of the screen. The only way to get rid of it is by shutting down the message server client on the PC and then I have to restart it.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Everything is on my local network, so there is no problem with this part of it. Everything displays just as I want it to.The gray blank windw IS the problem I was concerned about. The funny thing is, if I close the message server client window before it times out, everything is OK. It's only (usually) when I'm not around to close it that I get the gray blank window.

Thanks for your concern,

Fixed!!!

I found the problem. I needed to copy the "classes.jar" referred to in the applet to my Homeseer/html directory. Once I did that, it works fine.

Thanks for narrowing it down to a problem with the applet code.
