Physlet have been converted from Java to JavaScript using the newly developed Physlet JavaScript library. This conversion of Physlets from Java to JavaScript allows Physlet-based curricular material to be functional on all platforms.
The original Physlets jar file contains forty (40) Java applets known as Physlets. Unfortunately, all major browsers have removed support for the plugin that enabled Java applets on html pages, thereby breaking all web sites that utilize Physlets. Java-applet based material in the supplemental documents is for reference purposes only.
Physlets are not stand-alone programs and must be embedded into html pages to be useful. Physlet are small computational engines that are are designed to be scripted using JavaScipt. The the Physlets and the Physlet Physics books for additional details.

at least version 1.4 of Java Applet Plug-in.

Physlet Physics Explorations are tutorial in nature. They provide some hints or suggest problem-solving strategies to students in working problems or understanding concepts. Some Explorations ask students to make a prediction and then check their predictions, explaining any differences between predictions and observations. Other Explorations ask students to change parameters and observe the effect, asking students to develop, for themselves, certain physics relationships (equations). Typical uses of Explorations would be in group problem solving and homework or pre-laboratory assignments. Explorations are also often useful as Just-In-Time Teaching exercises. To aid in the assignment of the Explorations, Exploration Worksheets are included here and on the Physlet Physics CD. The Worksheets by Thomas Colbert provide students with extra structure to aid in the completion of the Exploration and provide instructors with an easy way to assign Explorations.

The error is: no main manifest attribute, in Physlets.jar How can I fix this? I believe it has to do with the manifest file in the jar. What should i add to this file to make it work? Regards,
