Hi.
I wrote a small navigation applet.
The requested informations are displayed in the main frame, while the navigation runs in a smaller frame on the left side of the screen.
Each page contains another small applet, named Class1.class. This applet just corresponds with the navigation applet and transfers the name of the web site to it. The nav applet now knowing what page is loaded, can use this information for emphasize the button leading to the requested page.
Using MS IE 5.0, no problems occur, and the navigations does what I want.
Using Netscape 4.7, if I load the page called "Home", the browser gives following error message:
Applet Home can't start: ERROR
I have absolutely no idea why this error occurs. It seems that the applet can be load, but doesn't start.

Does anyone have any suggestion?

Hi,

have a look at the menue "Communicator / Extras / Java-Consol".
There you can see what the problem is (may be a path is missing, may be a .class is missing or not found....).

Hope this helps....I have always the same problem (runs with applet viewer but not with IE, runs with Netscape but not with applet viewer, and so on...).

Thanks for replaying, but it didn't help.
I looked the Java-Consol. It told me, that there would be an NullPointerException. But there isn't.
I debugged my Applet with IE 5, and found no problems (I can't debug Netscape with Visual J++).
At the first start, everything seems to be ok. But if I want to open the next page, the applet can't start.
Any other suggestions?
