Java - IIRC - was supposed to be a platform-independant language.
Unfortunately, as in all such things, a certain unnamed company
was enthusiastic about NOT adhering to standards. (Others were
too, just that a certain company is rather high profile)
So writing Java which works for Browser A doesn't mean it necessarily
works for Browser B and we're right back into platform dependance
again.
Le sigh.
