Hey sharks
If I want an applet that functions in the largest possible number of
browsers, which setup should I choose? Is it better to
use AWT than Swing? The user is the average, potentially technically
challenged user.
Kind regards - Jesper

Don't use applets. Go with HTML and JS if at all possible. If that is really
impossible consider flash. I am a true Java proponent but applets are a dead
end.

I did a project using applets, and had a hard time getting them to work with
the various different browsers and platforms (especially Solaris). I managed
it in the end, and both Swing / AWT worked fine. Swing looks better and is
easier to use, so i'd recommend that.
If you are trying to achieve something simple / graphical then I agree with
the flash suggestion however.

my experience is that most PEOPLE have not done
anything to upgrade java and have a browser that only
understands java 1.0
furthermore, they are not willing to take the time to upgrade
if you get feedback from these users it is "it doesn't work"

Folks,
You might consider "Thinlets." I'm using these and realy enjoying them. http://www.thinlet.com
You should be able to support most folks with Java 1.1

Hi,
I'm trying to make applets as small as possible. Most applets only needs
some textfields, a list and some buttons. Here I can choose between AWT and
Swing components. Swing looks nicer but how about size in bytes and
compatibility? Which are the smallest and are Swing components as much
compatible as AWT or not?
Greetings,
Rick

I'm playing around with writing my own panel applets, and I'm trying
to figure out how to get my panel applets to be restored when I log

with PyGNOME (clock-applet.py). It works fine when I run it from the
shell, but when I log out and log in again, there's just a tiny
GNOME-foot icon where the applet should be.
After poking around in ~/.gnome/panel.d, I think I've...

I have put together this article to give people starting Swing an awareness of issues that need to be considered when creating a Swing application.

This article does not go into full implementation details because those can be found by reading the...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
