RE: Question on applets and Double.parseDouble(string)?

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

Apparently, this question had been asked twice.
The second post elaborated on the original problem.
If this is simply a class version problem, shouldn't there be a rather
clear NoSuchMethodException on the console or available in the
catch block? The second message indicated that ,"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've seen this before with some Microsoft JVM/browser configurations and
it
was very clear that the method wasn't available.

Thanks,

The "Double.parseDouble(string)" method was introduced with JDK 1.2.
The
version of Java in your browser is the 1.1.x" level.  Therefore, this
method is
not available unless you use the Java plug-in.
