But you can create a Frame class or Dialog class that behaves exactly the same (you can even modal-ise it without a parent Frame with a bit of work). > 2) After all the boxes have been filled in and the Send button is > pressed, I need to tell the browser to go to another URL (possibly > a cgi). Is there something that will tell the browser to do it? Yip, get the AppletContext from the Applet parent class. There's a method (can't recall off the top of my head) that redirects the browser, ... showPage( URL foo ) or showURL( URL foo ) I think. > I'm not really sure that this is what this list is about, but the traffic > is rather low here so I thought I'd at least give this one a try. Sounds fair, good to see a bit of traffic.
