Passing parameters to a Squeaklet in Firefox on Solaris 10 - Solved Thanks!

Graham McLeod
Following earlier message below:
Thanks anyway, our own efforts have yielded fruit and we solved he
problem today, so our application is up on Firefox/Solaris.
Regards,
Graham

Hi all, and especially Bert Freudenberg and Andreas Wacknitz(Thanks for
prior help)
We have managed with help of Bert and others in the community to get as
far as luanching our application as a Squeaklet in Firefox on Solaris
10. Thanks so far.

We are now having difficulty passing parameters from the web page to the
Squeaklet.
We have put them in the EMBED tag in the form:
parameterName=ParameterValue or
parameterName="ParameterValue" where the value contains anything like
special characters or spaces.

Our application retrieves parameters fine when they are listed in the
OBJECT tag and the squeaklet is launched in IE on Windows. These are
read from the Smalltalk dictionary.

I would be very greatful is anyone has a code example of:
a. A Firefox web page calling a Squeaklet with parameters
b. The Smalltalk code inside the applet which retrieves these
That is known to work on Firefox 1.5 and Solaris 10.
Many Thanks in Advance.
Best
Graham

So, what was the problem? Parameter passing should work without  
special efforts.

You're right, it should have worked, but the parameter names were converted to lower case (probably by Firefox) before they were passed on to Squeak and we were expecting uppercase names.
