1Notes about plugins

4 I have users that want to visit my pages with tclets, but they do not
5 have the plugin. What can I do?

7 Add a pluginspage=http://www.sunlabs.com/tcl/plugin/ name=value
8 pair to the embed statement. This will cause Navigator to find
9 the plugin for your user and suggest they install it. The user
10 is then prompted to download and install the plugin, and then she
11 has to restart the browser and revisit your page. Very inconvenient
12 and only slightly better than giving your users the broken image
13 icon. Netscape says they are working on a more automatic solution.

1814. Your demos work just fine, but when I visit my own pages with tclets in
19 them, at http://www.myserver.com/~mypages/mypage.html, I still get the
20 broken image icon. Why doesn't it work for me?

22 This is likely because your web server -- the program that sends
23 the pages to your browser when you click on a URL -- is not
24 sending the right mime-type when it sends the '.tcl' file. You
25 can work around this by adding a type=application/x-tcl name=value
26 pair to the embed statement, which will cause Navigator to infer
27 that it should use the Tcl plugin anyways. A better solution is
28 to ask your system administrator to configure the web server to
29 send the mime type application/x-tcl when it sends files with a
30 '.tcl' extension. Nearly all web servers in the world nowadays
31 are already configured to do this, the only ones we are aware of
32 that do not are some older versions of Apache.
