We provide some handy utilities for free, in the form of Java Applets. Currently a metronome and a tuner.
About Java, and problems running it.
The first thing to be aware of is that Java is not at all the same thing as JavaScript, it's a mystery to me why they gave them such similar names. These utilities do not require JavaScript.
These utilities are Java applets so if they aren't working properly, or aren't displayed at all, then this is most likely to be a problem with running Java in your browser. This applet requires the Java Runtime Environment JRE 1.4 or later. Statistics on the web say that 94% of browsers currently have Java enabled - possibly you are one of the 6% who haven't.
You need to have the Java plugin for your browser installed and enabled. First check your browser preferences and make sure you have Java enabled. Then close all browser windows you have open, then relaunch your browser and then visit the page again. This is to ensure that both the web page and the Java applet it contains, are the correct current version.
If that doesn't fix it, or if you encounter any problems running these utilities, then you should make sure you have the latest JRE version from Sun (the inventors of Java). Visit Sun at www.java.com and click the "Free Java Download" button to install the JRE on your machine.
About downloading and running locally.
If you download the zip file to run the utility locally, you may find that your file browser (e.g. Windows Explorer) may show you the zip file contents as if they were a folder, and you can double-click the html file and it displays, but the utility applet itself does not. That's because the applet cannot be run from within a zip file. You must extract the folder from out of the zip - for instance you can drag the folder to a new location so it gets copied and the copy is no longer in a zip file.
