Dan:

Until JDK 1.2 and the removal of peers you still have to deal with
this.  For example, you can specify fonts to your hearts content in
the code and have them ignored in place of user settings on the
browser client.  Java can't ask for that info so when the layout
manager goes to layout components it uses what it finds in code. 
Result -- layouts that look off between platforms (heck, between
different installs of the same browser on the same machine).

Of course, even if that's not the case your Applet is almost
guaranteed to look different between IE and NS and there's very
little, if anything, you can do from the developer side with your own
code.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
