I have some questions/observations about the showDocument()
procedure. To being with, I'm using the WinNT version of JDK Beta 2, with
Netsscape 2.0b6. When I do the command:
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("http://www.anywhere.com"));
Nothing happens. If I start moving the mouse around, eventually
the page will appear. It got me thinking that something was up with the
command queue, messages getting "stuck". So I did this:
for (int x=0;x<30;x++)
{
getAppletContext().showStatus
("Going to page http://www.anywhere.com");
}
This worked! Although, occasionally I notice it still waits for a
few mouse movements, it pops up much quicker than before. Does anybody
have an idea of what's going on? You can see the page:
http://128.175.60.138/java/CalcApplet/testURL.html
for a more concrete example of the problem. Click on the "Submit
Me I" for a URL POST to what should be a CGI script, but what is actually a
redirection to the "hundred_acre_woods" home page here at the U of D.
When the post receives a "location: " section in the header, it goes to
the page pointed to by "location". The "Submit Me II" button does not
have the "workaround" I mentioned above. Watch how long it takes to load.
Is this a Netscape program, or a JAVA problem? And if it's a
Netscape problem, is there a mailing list devoted to Netscape Java?

P.S. Anybody know of any mailing lists dedicated to JavaScript? I'm
interested in using that for form manipulation with Java instead of writing
the whole form in Java.
