This behavior is correct. The applet is not allowed to access files from the local hard disk. It is only allowed to access files on the web server from which it was loaded. (Note that in this case it was not loaded loaded from a web server. The html file came from file:// Therefore, one might think that the applet *should* work since it is accessing something on 'the place from which it was loaded'. But they decided not to do it that way.) > However, if I use the included > Apache server to serve the files to myself > (http://127.0.0.1/~myusername/test/test2/cell457b.html) both the applet > and the pdb file load properly.

This is the way you need to do it. Note that if you change the applet itself (download a new version). Then you must completely shut down the browser and restart it. > So, if you want to test your files before uploading them to a server, > you will have to activate your Apache server. Good.
