Hi Kenny,
I have set up a basic VisAD applet example at:
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~curtis/applet/
The source code can be found at:
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~curtis/applet/VisADApplet.java
To use it, you need to have the Java Plug-in installed,
and point it at your Java 2 JRE with Java3D installed.
The easiest way to accomplish all of this is to download
and install the latest Java2 SDK, JDK 1.3.1, as well as
the latest Java3D, version 1.2.1 (The JDK 1.3.1 installer
will automatically install the Java Plug-in and configure
it appropriately).
Lastly, when making your own VisAD applets, don't forget
to run them through the HTML Converter program that comes
with JDK 1.3.1. For more information, see:
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/html_converter.html
I recommend you test your applets in appletviewer first,
and once that works, then try it in a browser locally. If
that works too, then test it remotely from the web server.
Let me know if you have any further questions or problems.
