I've been updating my web site and need some advice from more experienced hands. Just two things: progressive Jpegs (the kind that should appear quickly then improve in quality as more data downloads) and Java.
First, are there known issues with progressive Jpegs? I recently increased the file size of my background images. They used to appear progressively, and now they wait until they appear all at once. yet I saved them as progressive. Any ideas?
Second, how many people have Java working on their browser? I have a page that views fine in my copies of Opera, Firefox and Explorer, but my (non-techie) friend cannot see the Java. Are non-Java enabled browsers common?
This page has the Java file. Most of the other pages have large progressive Jpegs.
