Hi all,

I have written a small applet program that copys a line of text from a
textfield to the clipboard.
I have created a .java.policy file and can view the applet using
appletviewer but when I upload it to my webpage I get errors. I realise that
it some kind of security error but have no idea what to do next..

The following is copied from IE's Java Console.
==============================================
