Problem displaying data on macintosh - take2

Hi there,

I have built a web site www.dadesign.com.au that reads the text content from various text files and implants the text into specific parts of the web pages. This is done using the following code:

I had to take out the greater-than and less-than symbols to make it print here. Hope it is readable.


OBJECT ID="current2" CLASSID="CLSID:333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83"

PARAM NAME="DataURL" VALUE="current2.txt"

PARAM NAME="UseHeader" VALUE="TRUE"

PARAM NAME="TextQualifier" VALUE="*"

PARAM NAME="FieldDelim" VALUE="|"

/OBJECT

SPAN DATASRC="#current2" DATAFLD="Project" /SPAN




The file current2.txt looks like this:

Project|Information
*ESP - Lot 301 Victoria Park:*|*Fire sprinkler and Hydrant system to residential complex. $650K, Builder: Walter Construction, due for completion now.*



The code works fine on a windows pc but will not display on a macintosh computer.


Does anyone know why and how I can fix it?

I am at a complete loss.

Thanks
Sally

I am not a mac expert but the problem may relate to the browser rather than the operating system.

Have you experienced the problem on multiple browsers or only one. Which browser(s) are the problem.

I have only tried it on ie. On pc it is fine but on mac it shows only the images and no text.

This can be done using java I think but I don't know how to implememnt it.

I know nothing about Java or objects so I'm prepared to make a fool of myself

You say you use "current2.txt" but your code refers to "current2", could adding the extension make a difference?
