SYMPTOMS
When you view a page that contains a Java applet in a web browser you receive the following error message:

Load: Class not found.

where is the name of the Java applet that cannot be found.



CAUSE
The location of the Java applet was changed in the FrontPage Explorer after you inserted it in the FrontPage Editor.

When you save the page in FrontPage Editor, the location of the Java applet is saved relative to the location of the page. When you move the Java applet to a different directory, this reference is no longer valid. When you browse the page, the Java applet does not load.



RESOLUTION
If you need to move a Java applet after it has been inserted on a page, you must also change the reference to the applet. To change the reference, use these steps:


 * 1) Open the page in FrontPage Editor.
 * 2) Right-click the Java applet, and then click Properties.
 * 3) In the Applet Base URL box, type the correct path to the Java applet. Note that the path should be relative to the saved location of the page on which you inserted the Java applet.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows.

Additional query words: front page class object
