Opening a html file in browser from applet

clax99 · Mar 11, 2002

Im writing an applet that creates an "Internet quiz question" by taking user input and creating a html file that displays the question and such. I have a preview button, so i need to know how to open the newly created html file in a new window in the users browser. If this is not possible, is there some class i could use to display an html file to the user? Thanks in advance,
Clarence

You can use live connect to access some javascript on the
page to open a window and then write html to it.

http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/communicator/jsguide4/livecon.htm

import netscape.javascript.*;
public class myApplet extends Applet { public void init() {
JSObject win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
etc.............
etc...........
myString = new String("<HTML>\n yadda yadda this the html&quot

;
JSObject win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
String args2[] = {"String"};
win.call("test", args2);

The java script would look something like.........

var writeWin = null;
function writeOut(data) {
writeWin =
window.open('','aWin','top=0,left=0,width=250,height=350'); var ePen =data;
var wd = writeWin.document;
wd.open();
wd.write(ePen);
wd.close();//this finishs writting and opens the window.
}

This works in All version of netscape and ie that i've tried
it in.
