Hello Simon,
I did try out the code sample with lots (an I mean lots..) of skepticism, bu was
shocked when I was a JOptionPane popup asking me for input !
My assumption was that the string representation of the JOptionPane would be displayed
e.g. bla bla bla
javax.swing.JOptionPane[,0,0,0x0,invalid,layout=javax.swing.BoxLayout,alignmentX=null,alignmentY=null,border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$EmptyBord
erUIResource@19d1,flags=32,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,icon=,initialValue=,message=JOptionPane
message,messageType=PLAIN_MESSAGE,optionType=DEFAULT_OPTION,wantsInput=false]
But what happened instead was a JOptionPane popped up, asking me for my name, and when
I did enter it, the page was rendered with the string
bla bla bla Sriram
How does this happen ?
Of course, I did have the Java 1.3 Plugin installed, but how can s
