2015-01-29 02:34:43 - Brainaid download applet not showing on Navigation page
Hi, have been reinstalling Chrome etc, but now find the button on the Brainaid Navigation page used to download the NMEA data applet is not showing. I believe I also got a Java update when reinstalling Chrome.

I have run Internet Explorer, but the same issue is apparent.

I kept my old applet (the jnlp file for SWR leg 3) and it still opens and runs okay. It just seems to be the download button which has disappeared.

I did an 'inspect element' search on the Brainaid page and it showed two errors.
1. Uncaught TypeError : deployJava.js:1 undefined is not a function
and 2. Uncaught TypeError : Cannot set property 'launchButtonPNG' of undefined.

All double Dutch to me, but maybe explains something to those who understand.
Thanks
John (Dingo)

This may not work for all versions, but if you still have Internet Explorer installed, this may work for you.

Go to brainaid's Sol toolbox and log in as you would normally and go to the Navigation page. Then press F12 (or go to Tools - Development tools menu) to open the, wait for it, Development Tools window. On the Tools window, select the Script tab. In the left-hand column, select and copy (CTRL-C) the 3rd line ("function my_write(t)..."). Make sure you copy the entire line. Now go and paste it in the text field in the lower right-hand corner and click on "Run script" to make the applet appear on the navigation page. (You may have to click "Single line mode" for the text field to appear.)

HTH,
Philip

Thanks Schakel, I have Internet Explorer as well. If I open that, and F12, I get the Toolbox okay, but no tab called Script. If I put the word 'function' in the search box, then I get, under the DOM Explorer tab, a number of tabs at the bottom including script. In there I can see the line: function my_write(t){var c = document.getElementsById

but I don't think I'm in the right location of the Toolbox to either copy or paste this.

Sorry, not used to this type of computer work. :)

cheers
John

Thanks all again, have got a temporary work-around from Kroppyer, but still puzzled as to the root cause of this problem.

The workaround:

Fill in
- your brainaid-token (can be seen in the url when you're logged in at brainaids toolbox: the part after ?sid= is your token),
- the race number (can be seen in the url of the client (windy/run/xxx/), and also in the racedescription (Race #xxx)
- your boatname
in the url below:
sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/
toolbox/NMEAproxy.jnlp?sid=YOURTOKENHERE&
race=RACEID&
boat=BOATNAME&
file=NMEAproxy.jnlp

example:
sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/
NMEAproxy.jnlp?sid=d41d8cd98f00b204e980099
8ecf8427e&race=787&boat=kroppyer&file=
NMEAproxy.jnlp

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!
