[lug] browser button events to Java

[Ferdinand P. Schmid]

There are not too many java developers on this list - at least they don't
speak up much.  I would go to deja.com for a newsgroup search.  Another site
that has proven useful to me for applet issues in the past is:
http://www.borland.com/newsgroups/ - even if you don't use JBuilder.

One thing you could investigate - if your hosting environment supports
servlets is storing a state serverside.  Then your applet could receive that
information from the server.  A long detour - but possible.

JavaScript is generally fairly broken - every browser interprets it
differently.  Same is true for applets if you use the browser's own JRE.  So
I would test your code at least in Netscape and IE.
