Other Coding Considerations

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

• 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.
• 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.
• When using "ACCEPT dest-item FROM COMMAND-LINE", dest-item will contain the full list of parameters from the HTML EMBED tag.
• 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.
• When required, how will your application access local resources without affecting end user security? Refer to Section 5.9 Security for security issues that affect coding.
