I would like to thank everyone who volunteered an answer and told me (very
politely, I might add) that it could be done and that I was doing something
wrong.
The first answer I recived was from Godmar back
(http://www.cs.utah.edu/~gback/sendmail/index.html). After looking at his
code, I figured out that my problem was in the way I was using my output
stream. After fixing it to do something similar to his applet, it woked like I
expected it to.
I'm still looking for a list of errors (or exceptions thrown) for Java applets
and/or applications and explanations on how to resolve them. I'll go one step
further: if none exists, I'm willing to put them on my home page (which I
don't have yet because I've nothing to say) whenever anyone out there sends me
pertinent information. The information I need is:
Compile-time errors:
* Error message
* Reason for error message
* How to fix the error
Runtime-errors (exceptions thrown):
* Exception Name
* Exception message (if necessary)
* Reason for exception
* How to fix the error
If anyone else thinks I should do this in another manner, let me know.
