Setting the textual messages
There are three messages that ImageSafe uses in certain circumstances. These messages
are always displayed in the top left corner of the image space and always in the
color red. All of them can be blank. The messages
are intially set to defaults but can be set to any string you can type.
The expired message
If the view-by date is passed then this message is displayed instead of the image.
The access denied message
This is the generic message displayed if the applet doesn't allow the image to be viewed.
The wrong Java version message
ImageSafe applets require the browser to have a Java version 1.1 virtual
machine in order to run and this is present in Netscape 4.06 or better, or
alternatively any MS Internet Explorer 4.0 browser or better. When the applet tries to run the first thing it does is look at
the version of VM that's running it. If it detects a version less then 1.1 it
ceases to run, the image isn't displayed and the wrong java version message is displayed.
Again this can be set to any message you can type.
