Dear Sir, I have a problem and would be grateful if you could help me. My java applet application is working perfectly fine with MSIE4.0 and with Netscape on Linux6.0.But while executing it with Netscape 4.5 on windows, it gives all sorts of errors.i.e. it does not follow top down procedure. eg if the word "hello" has to be read from the datainputstream of the socket ,it will read in the order "hello" or "elhlo" or "lleho" and so on (all the combinations possible).This is happening with only the first word on the inputstream. I have the feeling that the thread does not get terminated properly.So when i create a new thread with the same name.As a result both the threads execute simultaneously and results in a mess. Can this be the problem??If so..whats the solution.
