Applet runs in AppletViewer but not in IE. I am getting this error: com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[Quiz.<init>]: java.io.IOException: bad path: C:\html\Quiz applet\java\util\HashMap.class I have many other applets, each in their own folders under html, and they all work fine? the code is here: http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum33/HTML/001549.html

I never took notes in college. That's how I got a 4.0 the first 2 years, and a 3.5 the second two years.

Hello Randall, The security manager of the browser's JVM will not permit unsigned Applets to read or write files on the clients machine. Even if you are running this locally, the security managers interperts the request for "c:\\html\\..." as a request that violates security. Take a look at the Applet HelloServerFile in the CodeBarn for an example of how an Applet can read a text file off the server.
Thats not it Carl. The code I posted doesnt do any IO. It seems to be a problem with using a HashMap.

Isn't HashMap new with Java 1.2? I think IE (and Netscape) only support 1.1.

I was afraid that might be the problem. I had the whole thing almost done too with using one HashMap. I guess I will have to use Vectors or something. [This message has been edited by Randall Twede (edited February 06, 2001).]

Another option is to use Hashtable. It has been around since JDK 1.0.
