RE: Applets and IE 5.0

["Mike Marchywka" <mmarchywka@eyewonder.com>]

You really need to look at the JVM number. Microsoft has (somewhere)
fairly
good on-line bug lists by number. I've never ran into this bug but it
may be
a known problem. 
Why do you suspect that this statement is the culprit?
(BTW, do you really need to use a double instead of float?)

Also, I wouldn't suggest using
showStatus() for debugging- the console is bad but this is even worse.
If your applet is on a page with a bunch of other stuff, you
will be competing for the status line, possibly impacting performance.
If you have a lot of debug info you may hit some obscure bug that
would hang your thread...

I have used Opera too. I don't think the JavaScript support is
very good, but that's not based on much.

Subject: Applets and IE 5.0


Hello,

Within my applet,  I use parseDouble() statement wrapped in try/catch
block,
however, the process control does not make it pass parseDouble()
statement
while running in IE 5.0.  I have showStatus() statements that I am using
for
debug control.  It appears process control just disappears, because no
exception is generated while running the example in my browser.  It
works
fine in the applet-viewer.

I downloaded Opera 5.12 browser and my applet worked without any
problems.
Opera comes JRE 1.3.1.  I am unfamilar with IE 5.0 JRE support. Does any
know may causing the dilemma with the IE 5.0, besides the fact it a
product
by Microsoft?

Note: Also while I was browsering the Microsoft homepage with the Opera
browser,  I got a some script errors, and the pages were not being
displayed
corretly? Anyone have experience with Opera?

Thanks In Advance,
