Opening a new browser window in an applet

[Rocco Balsamo]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I checked the list and didn't
see anything.

I would like to open a new browser window from my applet. Where do I
start? What classes should I be looking at to do this?

Thanks,
Rocco

Hello Rocco:

Yry this in your event code:

getAppletContext().showDocument(URL, _blank);

In fact you can open up a URL in any valid frame using this:

getAppletContext().showDocument(URL url, String target);
