Have a look at the attached code. I have been able to get it working on ns4 (all OSs)
IE5 & 5.5 Win (haven't tested it on ie4). IE5 on mac's are unable to interact with
applets and as such will not work and i'm not sure how to get around this.
I don't see any way of using the load panel to load content in the fashion required by
the JSRS. this is because once you load the content into a load panel in ns4, there
is NO way of reading it or altering it.
Since my code already works with the API, I see it as being a better alternative for
loading code and interacting with servers. I'm in the process of getting it to submit
a form using the POST method instead of GET. This will allow for more than 3k of data
to be sent. (works in IE but NS is having problems with security restrictions in Java).
If you really wanted, it would be possible to build version that used Java directly in
NS without the need for an applet. This would give less error detection but may be
faster than the applet.
It could be possible to use the JSRS code to allow for Mozilla to do the work to get
around java security issues. Unfortunately once you start using anything but java,
you are restricted to 3k data size for sending infor using a URL.
