Other Coding Considerations

When coding for the plug-in, also consider the following points:

int90002.gif Because your main application window is embedded inside the browser window, it cannot have the main window menu bar to which you may be accustomed. (This is a Microsoft child window restriction.) You can, however, program your application's menu functions to be accessed from a toolbar or a pop-up menu using the right mouse button.

int90002.gif When using QUIT-MODE, you may not accept or display anything after ACCEPT terminates with the QUIT-MODE exception. If you do, the runtime terminates immediately as if the program has executed a stop run.

int90002.gif When using "ACCEPT dest-item FROM COMMAND-LINE", dest-item will contain the full list of parameters from the HTML EMBED tag.

int90002.gif When making changes or enhancements to your code, we recommend saving your object file under a new name (e.g., "myprog.acu", "myprog1.acu", and "myprog2.acu".) This way, even if your users have previously downloaded your plug-in application, they will automatically download the newer version the next time they access your Web site.

int90002.gif When required, how will your application access local resources without affecting end user security? Refer to section 5.9 for security issues that affect coding.
