No you're not crazy, although there is not much available off the
shelf from my scrounging around.

The hotjava browser from Sun would probably be complete

I can provide something on a commercial basis easy, contact me with
more details if you are interested, otherwise hit the search engines
for something free perhaps, www.jars.com and www.developer.com
are both pretty difficult to navigate but you may find something.

hi,

What want to do is possible by a simple feature of java..

here are two lines of code showing how in one of programs written by me i have
called html pages and images.

-------------------------------
  url = new URL("http://www.arch.usyd.edu.au/~dmun0275/java/Assleft.htm");
  this.getAppletContext().showDocument (url , "mid");
-------------------------------

In the above two lines a string was converted to a URL type variable and then
it was called in the second line. "mid" if the frame name where that document
was displayed.

here is the URl if u want to see what i am talking about.

http://www.arch.usyd.edu.au/~dmun0275/java/javamain.htm

""So its very much possible and Java does it for you...""

the only limitation is the use of frames or you open another browser window.

if you are interested to see full code of the application you can send me an
email and i can send u the java code of that program.. Email address is on the
address given above.

I hope i was of some help...

Dinesh....

No, but since you're in a browser, why not use it?

Yes, Sun's HotJava HTML component, ICEsoft's ice browser (best), Swing's 
JTextPane and many others.

To 1.1, no...1.2 (aka Java 2) yes.

Why not just use showDocument()?
