Re: Second newbie attempt to get help with applet child windowproblems under Jaguar.

Offhand, if I couldn't find a particular problem in the archives, I'd take that as evidence that others are *not* running into that problem all the time. And, "works perfectly on PCs" is hardly proof that the program has no bugs, only that PCs fulfill its assumptions better than Macs do (a common problem with Java programs).

Sounds to me like a problem with Internet Explorer (what a surprise). Have you tried any other browsers (OmniWeb, Opera, iCab, Mozilla, Chimera, etc.)? Also, how does the applet behave if not run under a browser (either using Applet Runner, or constructing a minimal main() that launches it)?

What's the *simplest* example you can construct that shows the problem? The only actual code you posted is quite useless for diagnosing anything, since it doesn't show us what your code is doing.
