I'm trying to run a java applet.
It works great in IE 5.0 but when trying to load it in Netscape 4.7, I get
this error: Applet "appletname" Can't Init: New
Why does it work in IE 5.0 but not Navigator 4.7?

I'm trying to run a java applet.
It works great in IE 5.0 but when trying to load it in Netscape 4.7, I get
this error: Applet "appletname" Can't Init: New
Why does it work in IE 5.0 but not Navigator 4.7?
Because netscape stinks.
No really, I had this problem before. IE's java sometimes lets things slide,
that might officially be java errors, however it will usually print an error
message on the console.
Go to your internet options in IE 5.0 and set the browser to have an option
for java console. Next find the "view java console" under one of the menus.
View the console, and it might give you an error like "Window: null parent
frame" (that's the error I got). If you see something like this, it is most
likely what causes the applet not to work with netscape. This particular
error occurs if you make a dialog box, and set the parent frame to null.
Just some ideas anyway...

Got to agree on this one. If something works in the appletviewer, it works
most of the time in IE, but rarely in NS when running it locally. Testing
it on a server most of the time clears all errors.
