In-Depth Information
You show Maxine the scrolling marquee, which she likes very much. She asks how
the page will appear for users who don't have Java. You tell her that the page will show
the abbreviated cast list used earlier. That text is still present in the Web page, though it
won't be displayed if the CreditRoll applet can be run.
Maxine also wants you to include a hyperlink for users that informs them of the
missing Java applet and tells them where they can download a version of Java to run
on their machines.
