Hi, Im unable to get this to work. I've set the archive name to the jar I download, but i cant figure out where to keep the jar file

Hi.
If this file irb-applet5.html is in ./dir, then jruby-complete.jar needs to be in ./lib.

You can also modify line 16 to change where to put the jar file. In particular, if you change ../lib/ to ./, you can keep the jar file in the same directory as this HTML file.
