I'm really sorry if my question was not supposed to be posted here . I did
try to search help from other appropriate sources(comp.lang.java.programmer
and the like, even JDC) before attempting to post it here (with the hope
that someone has run to this problem and can share that ).
I know that for a regular applet, you can have it run directly from your web
page where it is contained or downloaded . The problem we have here is we
want users to run our web application like their own standalone application
. So once they download, they can minimize their web browser and/or use it
to go somewhere else without affecting the whole application (we take care
all cleanup tasks when users hit logout function - ) .This is an e-commerce
application (has CORBA, Oracle servers on the backend to interface with
other system application). I did some further test and found that it works
perfectly on Netscape (WinNT, Linux, Alpha) , but not on IE 4.
Again, please forgive me if my message causes any misundestanding or
problem.
thanks
