Links in Applet

[Abi rami]

Would any one please let me know how to add links in the applet. I have a ticker applet and if anyone clicks on a particular string, a Html page should be loaded. Thanks in advance.

Sud,
Try adding this method to your applet:
// allows us to jump to other web pages
private boolean linkTo(String theURLString)
{
try
{
URL theURL = new URL(theURLString);
getAppletContext().showDocument(theURL, "_top");
}
catch(MalformedURLException e)
{
// alert the user or handle it yourself
return false;
}
return true;
}
