Applets and Hyperlinks

[Sam Bluesman]

Can u attach a hyperlink to an applet so that when a user clicks anywhere on the applet it takes the user to a different website or webpage?

If so...how?

Please change your displayed name to conform to our
naming policy. In short, your name must be a first name and last name, separated by a space and not obviously fake.
Now, about your question. No, but you can do something similar by calling AppletContext.showDocument() to load a new URL in the browser.

urlField = new TextField("http://localhost/");

userUrl = new URL(s);
urlField.setText(userUrl.toString());
getAppletContext().showDocument(userUrl, "_blank");

We ask that people use their real names because we want this place to be friendly to the newcomer and people seem to take the anynomity of the internet as a license to be short-tempered and insulting. Thanks for making the change and enjoy the Ranch.
