Running local Java applet that accesses the local file system on Safari

Question

I am unable to save a file to the local file system using the TiddlySaver.jar applet under MacOSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.0.2. http://tiddlywiki.com/

Supposedly in Safari 6.0 there is a menu item under "Develop" called "Disable Local File Restrictions", but I do not see it in Safari 6.0.2. Perhaps there is another way to disable the restrictions that I am unaware of?

Answer 1

The menu item you're thinking of disabled restrictions on Javascript. It does not affect Java applets.

Your issues are more likely to be because Apple temporarily blacklisted versions of the Java plugin prior to Java 7 update 11 from loading at all . (Mozilla took similar measures for Firefox.) Download and install Java 7 update 11 to make it start working again.
