[LON-CAPA-users] Physlets and Macs

[lon-capa-users@mail.lon-capa.org]

Hi,

I know several of you out there are using physlets, and that several of 
you are mac experts :)

I'm using physlets really heavily for the first time in a physical science 
class. These are really simple (ball moving, measure average velocity, 
etc...).

I have been using the initApplet check that is used in the new physlets 
book to guarantee the main javascript is not executed until the applet 
loads.

I have both a student and a colleague who say that the timer works, but 
the animation does not show. This makes me believe the applet is okay (at 
least functioning) but that the javascript is not behaving.

The resources are:

/res/ohiou/physlets/1dkinematics/measuring_velocity_01.problem
/res/ohiou/physlets/1dkinematics/measuring_velocity_02.problem
/res/ohiou/physlets/1dkinematics/5balls_xv_active02.problem
/res/ohiou/physlets/shm/shm_oscillate_optresp_1.problem

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!
Mark
