I've been programming off and on in Java for a few years, usually when a quickinterface was needed (before I learned VB) and never an applet.I was recently asked to write a news ticker applet with hyperlinks. Theticker itself was easy, but the hyperlinks are causing a problem. How doyou direct the web browser to the new url?Also, since I don't always program in Java, every time I have to, I downloadthe new JDK from Sun (IDE for Java? Get out of here . I've run into afew depreciated methods:Thread.StopComponent.SizeAre these going to cause problems if I use them, and if so, what are thecurrent incarnations of these methods?Thanks for any helpEric
