This is straight from the http://java.sun.com/applets/ web page: " When you use a Java technology-enabled browser to view a page that contains an applet, the applet's code is transferred to your system and executed by the browser's Java Virtual Machine (JVM). "
Java Applets cannot connect to the same host they were loaded from. They run on the client machine as a local program. I know this because I attempted to run an applet and have it connect to a mysql server the resided on the web server. The applet could not connect using localhost as the domain name of the server. ( Which due to security settings was the only URL I could connect to.) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
