Hi,

Below a list of system properties an applet can never acces.
Well, 'never?'  I thought , so I tried it out. I made an applet that gets
the 'user.name' and displays it. Next I opened the applet in Frontpage and
viewed the page in 'preview mode' (tab at the bottom). What do you think?
Indeed, it nicely displays the information!

Maybe the restrictions aren't that tight?

CyBerco.

read the following system properties.

Key Meaning

"java.class.path" Java classpath
"java.home" Java installation directory
"user.dir" User's current working directory
"user.home" User home directory
"user.name" User account name
