Multi-Threading in applets

[Jamshed Dastur]

hi pepl
well i have an applet which continuously communicates with a servlet
This continous communication takes place in a thread.
However when i minimize the browser window and then maximze it again ..the applet dosent get refreshed.
ie the frame becomes "Transparent" so to speak
Does any one know why this happens ??

u have to override the start() method of applet class
so as to get the applet automatically refreshed
