JIFupload works fine in Macintosh Safari, but for bizarre reasons related to another app making Safari slow to a crawl, I decided to give it a try in Firefox and Opera.

In Firefox, the layout of the applet is all messed up, the buttons are too big and overlap their rectangles, and the load/cancel buttons go off the bottom of the applet frame and, though partially visible, are unclickable.

In Opera, JIFupload sometimes works, but usually fails with a Java exception -- and often different Java exceptions! It seems to get steadily worse until it fails every time.

I would post a log of the exceptions except that %^$^&@&@&* Opera does not let you cut and paste the contents of the Java Console window. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhh!

However, the most common errors are NullPointerException in DefaultUploadPolicy.java:507 and JUploadApplet.java:210

Hi, I'm not the developer of the applet, so I won't be able to debug the java errors. I will try duplicate it. I have not had any problems in Firefox or safari for Windows.

Did you make any change to the parameters in the admin settings?

If you try to view the demo at sandbox.bigcitydev.com do you see the same problem?

I haven't made any changes in the parameters.

I can't really test it using your site because my images are typically in the 1mb to 1.5mb range. This is likely to be part of the problem.

I increased the upload limit to 2mb for now, but it won't help because it's a shared hosting environment with only 32M. It did let me upload but gives me wsod on reloading the node edit form, so I don't think you'll be able to use my sandbox for your testing. Sorry. Please let me know if you discover anything. Thanks.
