How to Access another HTML page from JApplet

Posted by Matt Gerrans on October 26, 2001 at 3:40 PM

try
{
   java.applet.AppletContext browser = getAppletContext();
   url = new java.net.URL("http://www.cyclethere.com");
   browser.showDocument( url, "_self" );
}
catch( java.net.MalformedURLException exception )
{           
   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, "Bad URL!", "Error", 
                              JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
}

The second parameter of showDocument() controls whether the URL is displayed in the current browser window, a new named or unnamed one, etc.; see the documentation of AppletContext for different variations. If you want it in the current window, there is also a showDocument() with no second param.
