Thank you, Dr. Henson, for your helpful suggestions--seems this newsgroup is just a
little empty of answers.
The file is saved in PC format and has been running on PCs. It runs fine when I do
not try to access privileges, but when I do, it gives the error:
JavaScript Error: uncaught Java exception
netscape/security/ForbiddenTargetException ("User didn't grant the
CanvasAccess privilege.")
The java console gives no errors, no clue.
Also, when I run it as a file, it works fine. This might be neither here nor there.
I tried recompiling it under a different name, but alas, same result.
