Hi Hari and Sebastien,

I'm forwarding your message since I'm outwith the domain for administering the list (and a bit confused, here in vienna at the ISMB/ECCB).

You're quite right, the menu bar is errant between different browsers on the Mac, IIRC the menus appear in the drop down bar at the top of the screen with firefox (but I'd have to check this - since you haven't noticed them). Give me a few days to get at a mac again and I'll have a look.

cheers.
Jim

Hi Hari.

I noticed the same behaviour with Firefox on Mac.

The JalView menubar seems to be only available with Safari.

Hi really like using jalview..
I normally use it offline using webstart. Today I tried to launch it as an applet on my mac from the pfam database at http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Pfam/

I am using the Java 1.5.0 plugin.

How do I get the applet window to show the menu-bar containing file -edit-search etc options?
The only menu bar I see on the mac is my firefox menubar even though the mouse focus is on the applet window.

Without the menu bar I am powerless..your help will be greatly appreciated

thanks

I have no mac to hand but I remember the issue now. For some reason,
pull down menus on any applet window are tagged on to the *right* of the
pulldowns on the Firefox menu bar. This is incredibly useless, and
seemed to be something to do with the java plugin rather than firefox
itself (since I tried various different mac ports to see if that made a
difference).

unimpressed.
