ie6 and firefox both show "undefined string" text labels on all the buttons.
from pjirc (I'm guessing that's what the server's running)
Why do I get Undefined String?
The reason you get that message is very simple. It is because the applet cannot read the language files.
There are two files needed.
english.lng for the applet
pixx-english.lng for the GUI
Here are the most common reasons why.
The web server you are using will not allow you to use files with odd extensions like '.lng.'
How to fix this:
Change the files with .lng extensions (english.lng, french.lng, pixx-english.lng, pixx-french.lng) to have .txt extensions and add these parameters to the page that contains the chatroom:
<param name="pixx:lngextension" value="txt">
<param name="lngextension" value="txt">
On some servers you might need to change the extensions to .gif or .jpg
Alternatively if you run the server you can register .lng as a text/plain mime type.
You are running your applet from a codeblock on a PHP gateway, or a remote host, or for some other reason your applet doesn't know the path to it's own files.
The applet naturally thinks it's in the folder the calling page is hosted from.
How to fix:
Use absolute paths to the location of the applet and all it's files. This is usually accomplished by setting the codebase parameter.
<applet name=PJirc codebase=http://www.myweb.com/applet/ code=IRCApplet.class archive="irc.jar,pixx.jar" width=640 height=400>
You can also add the path to the language & other files to ensure they get found
<param name="pixx:language" value="/appletpath/pixx-english">
<param name="language" value="/appletpath/english">
You just didn't upload all the files. This and typos are the most common errors.
Fix:
Upload all the files. Straigthen up the spelling mistakes.
WRONG!
<param name="pixx:language" value="pixx:english.txt">
RIGHT!
<param name="pixx:language" value="pixx-english">
Only one of the language files is being used.
You forgot to apply read permissions to the files.
