Browser reload increses the number of open JFrames

Question

Hey guys,
this is funny.... I have an JApplet... it opens two JFrame's.... this works fine... but when I am reloading the browser (firefox or safari) I have 4 frames.... reload... 6 frames.... reload 8 frames....
Reload invokes the destroy() method... and actually the applet and all its resources should be away.... but it isnt?!
I tried to memorize all my open JFrame's and to invoke .dispose() or .removeAll() on them if the destroy() method is called... but nuthing!
Really... I am confused.. can anybody help me, please!
SA.

Answer 1

That's easy.. try this please:
public class HahaApplet extends JApplet {
     private Image im;
     public void init() {
          JFrame frame1 = new JFrame();
          JFrame frame2 = new JFrame();
          frame1.setSize(100, 200);
          frame2.setSize(500, 500);
          frame1.setVisible(true);
          frame2.setVisible(true);
}after you deployed it with a html file and tried to open it with your browser... press several times the reload button... and the frames will be popuplating your whole screen! ;-)
I meant with memorizing, that I hold a reference to all my open frames in my real application... when the browser invokes the destroy method i could invoke on all my frames dispose() or removeAll() to make sure the frame are killed from the heap. But nothing helps... frames are coming like snow in the alps!
Thank you.
