Applet and Browser

[Arthur Campos]

Hello!
There is some way for an applet to force its visualization in the browser to a certain area of the panel??
And please don�t question the reason of why I must do this...
thanks!

Hi Arthur
The answer would be no as far as I know. Because we include applet in the browser via the "applet" or the "embed/object" tags which are html tags. So wherever we put those tags, applet gets displayed. So, once displayed I dont think we can change it. If we are rendering the html via JSP or similar dynamic pages then we can put those applet tags whever we want but once rendered in html we can't change it...
Does this provide some light to you?

Thanks for the reply, Maulin Vasavada.
Well, I think the same thing... once rendered on html page, we can�t change the state of the browser through the applet.
But I was thinking if this is possible to do...

Hey fellows, I already solved my problem by using an anchor in html code, like this:
<a href=# name=applet>
<applet>....</applet>
</a>
And I used the following code in the applet:

try {
  URL url = new URL(getDocumentBase() + "#applet");
  getAppletContext().showDocument(url);
}
catch(MalformedURLException e) {}

thanks!
