Hi folks,
I'm in day 2 of learning Java for a project I'm doing gratis for our 
local Public Radio Station.  (Hopefully they will get more than they are 
paying for.)

I've already got a preliminary working version of the project, but have 
run into the first of many inevitable snafus.

I can't get focus to change between data input controls using the 
keyboard.  The only discussion about this is in a FAQ somewhere that 
indicates that focus shifting with TAB is handled automatically by JDK 
1.1, but for JDK 1.0 you have to muck around with event keyDown.  

I seem to be able catch the event ok, but calling nextFocus() has no 
effect that I can see; and it still leaves open, even if that did work, 
how to go to the previous control, since there doesn't seem to be a 
"prevFocus()".

I suppose the reason the app does shift focus on IE 4.0 and not on IE 
3.02 is that only IE 4 implements the updated Java engine; is that 
correct?

If I do figure out how to make Netscape 3 and IE 3 change focus, will I 
have to do some version testing so I don't break IE 4?

Thanks for any hints,
