Apologies for revisiting this old posting, but I am interested in the outcome.

I have similar issue, and would like to limit the list of menuitems to 12 visible at a time, allowing the built-in scrolling to handle movement through the list?

Any ideas,

Dave

Whoa 5 years and no answer!

I have a similar request. I want to limit number of menuitems displayed at once, with the usual supplied scroll arrows allowing user to navigate through list, without it filling whole screen. This would alleviate issues of smaller resolution.

Any clues. Do I have to break into the AWT classes somewhere and mess there?

I am having a similar problem.

I have a menu, based on menu and menuitems, in popup. When the user clicks on a submenu, a list of stores is given. This list fills the height of broweser and offers a scroll arrow top and bottom.
How can I control this arrow?

Also, on some users PC's the menu list disappears below the screen size, and cannot be navigated correctly, although the cursor gives some functionality.
Is it possible to limit the menuitems shown to say 10 items, using the normal scrolling arrow?
Help gratefully received

Hi,
Not much help here, but it all looks identical to a movement process i have in an graphic app. Mine has same listener, same event check etc, and repaint. Have you tried the obvious debug, with System.out.println("moved left").... at each key press?
If they are being reached, thats one less step to worry over?

Have you tried
applet.stop()
also,
applet.destroy() - tells applet to lose all its resources, but still requires the stop(). But an applet is destroyed when the page changes, as its only part of the present page...
You should be able to get this info from any search on Applets reference.

Hi All, Fardeen,
Call this a bump if you like, but I am also interested in this.
Like Fardeen says, javascript allows window.open(x,y,etc,etc). Also, I can window.resizeTo(x,y) in the onLoad of the new window, but I would also love to know if I can lose the toolbar etc.
Come on all you experts, help us greenhorns

Hi
You might need to include the jar relevent to access, along with the applet itself.
Sounds like its not finding the relevent clas it needs. Also, check your project file, as it may not be including the jar/library. Your applet viewer, which I guess is part of your development enviro, may have it built in, but the browser may not?

Hi, I do the above, and it works fine, but is there a way to monitor when the new page is closed, and also can it be set to not have buttons, status etc, like a frame.
I know you can use window.open(x,y,etc,etc) to set this up as a javascript call, but can it been done from an applet. alternative, can the 'window' remove the buttons, as it can resize with window.resizeTo(x,y).
Cheers

I agree with eric. I used the code below to check for empty fields. Also, it sends the user back to the offending piece too:
Well, the error log, will depend upon you. If you have comments being made ie println() then you can get that from the javalog, in the java directory on users pc. But they need to 'enable logging' from ie options.
Other than that, ?

Hi,
I am having similar problem, and I think its down to the aplet not finding the mysql package. Not sure on how to include, as jar file contains classes (at least those generated).
If you can ensure that all drivers and classes are there.....

Hi,
I have an applet that reads a file (in byte form) which holds data values from a database query. This data is then displayed as a graph.
The data is written in bytes, applet called and read back same way. The actual reading is working fine, and the datafile is correct, as it can be proven on both a applet viewer (eclipse) and opera (browser). When using the applet locally, on network it works fine, data shows correctly.
The purpose of the applet is for users, who only have modem access (access restriction) try to view this data. The data is fine for a short way, then it goes wrong and messed the graph somewhat!! It occurs at the same place, regardles son the data, its around the 2250 byte of info.
Is there a known problem of IE 6.0?? Any clues please, my grey hairs are starting to go white!
