Again, I appreciate the feedback. We are working in a rather controlled environment these days and it turns out that the Java plug-in won't go, so the whole applet idea looks to be a non-starter anyway. Live and learn. (or not, I guess...)

Using the web as a conduit for applets (Swing apps) defeats the purpose of the web's "thin-client" design. ;) If you want a web-based app, aim for thin technologies -- that is, server-side computations and resources -- and you can save yourself some headaches. : I find too many : unexpected browser peculiarities when trying to do anything too : complicated (probably just me, but...) and would like to use something : more definitively controlled (or more predictable in operation). All my : users will be using MS Internet Explorer, typically v5.5. If you have control over the deployment environment then you can go whole-hog with browser-specific markup and javascript. Many companies do this internally and it simplifies testing, deployment, etc. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
