Opening a frame from an applet

Hi,
I want to open a frame in my applet. If I'm using swing, JApplet opening a JFrame, is it possible to keep the frame open if the user browses away from the page that holds the applet?
Are there any tricks? I've tried opening it in a new Thread, but it still goes away when the the browser's page changes.
Could I call getParent() from the applet until I get an instance of Frame (which would be the browser) and set my JFrames' parent? Or does that only work with the old Netscape and old AWT Frames?
I basically want to know if I can keep my JFrame open until the browser is closed. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thank you very much

Do you want to open a jsp application in a frame when you click on the applet?If so, there is a programme in http://www.globalleafs.com -Java-Java Applets 's download section. Check it out.

[NEWBIE] How to open a frame from an Applet?

Hi, I'm trying to open a JFrame from an Applet. Basically, I would like that, once the user selects an option from a JMenu, a Frame would be shown with a text box where user could type some content.
I built both the Applet and the Frame, and singularly they work. When I execute the main method from the JFrame, the window appears, but when I execute something like the following from the applet:
MyFrame mf = new MyFrame();
mf.setVisible(true);nothing is shown. I'm sure that I don't know something, but I just started with applets.
Thanks for any help,
Marco

If MyFrame is a subclass of JFrame, then it should not
make any difference.
What do you need the JFrame for? Can this be done
using another "screen" by using a CardLayout?From a menu, when the user selects 'Start game' I need a text box coming out so that the user can insert a word. This word should then evaluate an instance member of the Applet.

Opening frames from an applet

Me and a friend are making an applet, and would like it to open a new frame at some point.
It works perfectly* on his WIN 2k IE 5.0 but somehow it does not on my WIN 2k IE 6.0
Is it no longer legal to open new windows from an applet?
Thanks.
*Except for the warning. Btw, is that warning removable?

If the window doesnt show up, you might have an exception thrown somewhere. I assume you are using a Java Plug-In since you are using IE6.0. You can bring up the java console, if you open the Java Plug-In icon in the Control Panel and enable "Show Java Console". Restart your browser and try again and see if you are getting a stacktrace in the java console.You can also see what version of java you are using in the control panel, or change it in the Java Plug-In options (Advanced tab) if you have more than one installation installed.

Opening a browser from an applet

I got a problem, I want to open a browser from my applet, but I just found one way:
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(
"http://www.java.sun.com"), "_blank");
but the problem is: with this, the default browser with defaul settings is opened, and that's what I don't want...
how can I open the browser with some settings (for example size, or no-url-bar, etc)
thx for help

hi,
try this code:
public void showDocument(java.net.URL url, String targetWindow)
when targetWindow can be:
"_blank" Display the document in a new, nameless window.
"windowName" Display the document in a window named windowName. This window is created if necessary.
"_self" Display the document in the window and frame that contain the applet.
"_parent" Display the document in the applet's window but in the parent frame of the applet's frame. If the applet frame has no parent frame, this acts the same as "_self".
"_top" Display the document in the applet's window but in the top-level frame. If the applet's frame is the top-level frame, this acts the same as "_self".

Opening a socket from an applet

I tried to open a socket from an applet to a server on a remote computer and I've got a refusal message.
When I try it on a server in the local machine, it works.
What could be the problem ?
P.S. : when I open the socket from an application in the Java environment, to the same remote server it works ok.

this is part of the security system built into java and Applets
unless you sign an Applet it cannot do many "dangerous" things, like..
access the loacl file system
connect to any server except the server that it came from

Opening and closing a frame from an applet security problem

can I open a frame or a window from an applet and close the frame by using
System.exit(0) for the frame or will it throw a security problem.

I am using system.exit(0) to exit the JVM.
dispose()
Releases all of the native screen resources used by this Window, its subcomponents, and all of its owned children. That is, the resources for these Components will be destroyed, any memory they consume will be returned to the OS, and they will be marked as undisplayable.
If this frame have to be close and open again don't use dispose.
there is no check whether a frame is active? what you can do is set the the new frame to null (frame = null) and also when you dispose it, this will let you know if the frame is active or not.

Open a JFrame from an applet

I have an applet in which I have a JButton.
When you click the button, I want a new window to open with a JFrame. Is that possile?
I've written as follow but nothing happens when I click the button.
1. In the applet, I've written:
public class MyApplet extends Applet {
if (e.getActionCommand() == myButton) {
frame.getContentPane().add(new Blabla(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
2. In the frame, I've written:
public class Blabla extends JFrame {

Thanks.
Now a new window is opened when I click the button, but it's empty....
In the frame I have a container, is that a problem? I don't know where to put "your":
"getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());"
I've written:
public class Blabla extends JFrame {
boolean inAnApplet = true;
private boolean laidOut = false;
private JButton b1, b2, b3;
private JLabel fnamn;
public Blabla() {
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(null);
b1 = new JButton("some text");
contentPane.add(b1);

Opening a frame inside IE applet (window)

I have an applet whih creates an instance of a frame .. the frame opens up in a separate IE window .. is there a way for the frame to overlay the applet window or is the nature of the frame always going to force a new window to open .. thanks to all who reply in advance

If you want the frame to overlap the applet, don't use a frame but a panel.
Kind regards,

Open web pages from an applet

I'm developing an applet that has to open some web pages.
The only way I know is to use the method showDocument that
needs and URL. So, how to pass parameters to the web page?
I don't want to put them in the URL: everyone can see
"secret data"!
Help me, please.

Take a look at this example that uses a JEditor pane to hold the HTML page.
//Create a new JEditor Pane
jep = new JEditorPane( );
//Ensure the pane is not editable
jep.setEditable(false);
//Use this to get local HTML file
URL fileURL = this.getClass().getResource("Manual/Manual.htm");
//add the html page to the JEditorPane
jep.setPage(fileURL);Ok the core line of code here is this.
URL fileURL = this.getClass().getResource("Manual/Manual.htm");The standard method for accessing a html file via a URL is thus. As you can see its very similar.
URL fileURL = new URL("http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/pages/staff/asscott/progranimate/docs/Manual/Manual.htm");this.getClass().getResourse() will return the file location of the class you are working with.
By doing the following you can access manual.html in a folder called Manual that sits in the same file location as the class file you are using.
URL fileURL = this.getClass().getResource("Manual/Manual.htm");I hope this helps.

How do I open a url from an applet?

is it done the same way with HTTPUrlConnection as with an application or is it done in a different way? I'm getting a "ClassCastException"

Now I'm trying to call a CGI script and past things in through the post method... I still get a ClassCastException. This exact same code worked in the applet, once again. here is the code I am using:
               URL url = new URL ("http://address.pl");
               HttpURLConnection cxn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
               cxn.setRequestMethod("POST");;
               cxn.setUseCaches(false);
               cxn.setDoOutput(true);
               cxn.setDoInput(true);
               ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream(400);
               PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter (bytes,true);

Open Frame from MainFrame Menu item

I created new Frame, and I want to open this frame from Main Frame menu item.
Help me

You should add an action listener to the Menu Item. In the action listener's actionPerformed(ActionEvent) method, call your frame's setVisible(boolean) method.
//frame setup
        JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame("main frame");
        final JFrame otherFrame = new JFrame("second frame");
        mainFrame.setSize(400,400);
        otherFrame.setSize(200,200);
        //menu setup
        JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("Open my special frame");
        JMenuBar bar = new JMenuBar();
        JMenu menu = new JMenu("menu");
        bar.add(menu);
        menu.add(item);
        mainFrame.setJMenuBar( bar );
        mainFrame.setVisible( true );
        //here's the important part
        item.addActionListener( new ActionListener()
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
               otherFrame.setVisible(true);
    }
