Dino: Because I have to (for testing purposes) I run IE 3.02, 3.02 + new VM, IE 4.0, IE 4.0 + new VM, NS 4.02, 4.03, and 4.04 with the appropriate patches, AppletViewer and HotJava. All of them (yes, all of them) have individual problems with 1.1 applets. Some major (like Netscapes inability to load images via getResource() or use interdependant archives), some Minor (like MS desire to code so close to the spec that the end user suffers and UI looks different across browsers). If you poke around the applet-issues group, you'll see many of these problems. This is just what you get to look forward to after you get a solid handle on where to stick files (deploy) so your applet even runs. What error are you getting from the applet? -Rich Dino wrote: > > Admittedly, I am new to Java - I figured I'd give it some time to settle > out a bit before jumping in.
