RE: Previewing two pages at a time

Hi Khurram
I think you want to view your applet on the left side of web page at the same time you want to open another html page on the right using your program in applet. I am not going to give you any ready made code. However, I am going to give you enough clue so that you can get it work. Follow the following steps.
1. Create a html page with two frames. Name your frames like leftframe and rightframe.
2. Create an applet and embed it in an HTML file named left.html and make this file as target for the leftframe created in STEP1. You can make target for rightframe blank or some a small html file with some welcome message.
3. In the program ( of course in applet ) when you have your c drive file name then to open it in right frame you can write the following lines of code. This code goes in applet.
AppletContext context = getAppletContext ( );
// Create a new URL object for your c drive html file
URL url = new URL ( "your c drive file " ) ;
// Open the C drive file in right frame
context.showDocument ( url, "rightframe" ) ;
That's it.

Thanx
Kishori
