I have seen other auctions with animations flying around everywhere! I have got some of the gif's to work, loading them as an image. But I have come across "applets" which are much better, and I can only "veiw" them on its preveiw. When I copy all files and paste them into the description box (html ok), all I get is a gray box.
#3 below is were I think I may be having the problem. How can I load html files onto auction watch so that these cool animations will work?
1) Copy the .class files to the same dir as the .html files, along with any GIF and JPG images. In Anfy wizard this can be done with the "Copy all files to" function.
2) Add the <applet> tag in the html document. Some html editors do not allow this or have special standards. If this occurs, save the .html file first, then edit it with dos edit, notepad or another ASCII text editor. Then manually add the <applet> tag.
Anfy wizard helps you create the <applet> tag with the right parameters for your purposes and your images, but you still have to copy and paste the resulting <applet> tag in your html document. You can use the "Copy all files to" function to save an html document that contains only the applet, and then re-open it with your preferred html editor to add what you want.
3) Upload the .html file, .class files and any others (images etc.) to your web page directory as usual.
Please note that you have to upload the .class files using FTP in BINARY mode and not in ASCII mode !! Otherwise the applets will not work (a "java.lang.ClassFormat" or "java.lang.MethodVerification" or "Bad Magic Number" error message will be displayed).
Be sure file names and file lenghth is not changed during upload process: if files are of different size, or have different name (for example ends with .cla instead of .class) something went wrong.

Hi Danhart99,
Unfortunately, at this time we do not offer HTML support. If you search the internet, you should be able to find a little tutorial on how to add these goodies to your auctions. Keep in mind that if something goes wrong with your listing, we may be unable to help as we do not yet offer HTML support.
