Browser Swing support

GusBrown · Sep 6, 2001

Does anyone know if IE/NN users have to actually download a seperate component(s) to allow applets to use Swing? Was this just the case with older versions that now have Swing support built in?

Thanks,

Gus

Swing support for Applets is usually done thru the use of Sun's HTML Converter which prompts the user to download Sun's Java Plugin. Most browser's come equipped with archaic jre installations and are no good to anyone using Swing.

Here is the link to the plugin:

I may be wrong, but someone told me that netscape 6 does support Swing - can anyone confirm this?
