JClass DataSource/JavaScript Example 

Intoduction 
===========

This simple example shows how the JClass DataSource can be used in conjunction 
with JavaScript controls. 

Requirements 
============

1. must run on your local machine -- uses jdbc-odbc bridge 
   JClassDemo must be registered as an ODBC Data Source on this machine

2. must set your CLASSPATH to include jcdatasource351.jar and JClass35 
   and this applet. Replace the jar name with the that corresponds to
   your version of the jclass datasource.
   set CLASSPATH=.;c:\JClass4\lib\jcdatasource400.jar;c:\JClass4;%CLASSPATH%

3. must run in Netscape 4.5 browser that completely supports JDK1.2 or
   Internet Explorer 4.0

4. must exit Netscape completely before running, including netscape mailer
   otherwise your new classpath setting is not used

Usage 
=====

To ensure the proper CLASSPATH is used invoke netscape from the command line as follows: 

"d:\program files\netscape\communicator\program\netscape.exe" 


"E:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\IEXPLORE.EXE"

then enter the file url for this applet.


Once the page is loaded 
=======================

Once the page is loaded you will see two JavaScript controls: two drop-downs, 
Order ID's and Order Detail ID's.
The Order ID's box is populated when the page is loaded. Selecting an Order 
number from the Order ID's drop-down the
second drop-down will show the OrderDetail numbers which correspond to 
the currently selected Order. 

Trouble shooting
================
JavaScript errors and security violation errors are usually the result of
the browser not being able to find the required classes in the classpath or
the JClassDemo ODBC data source is not set up properly.

Netscape will not acknowledge the new classpath settings unless you 
close every instance of the browser, including the mail reader, even
though you invoke a new instance yourself from the command line.
