Subject: java applets and server files
Hi, I've read on your site that java applets can't read files, but
previously I was under the impression that an applet could read a file from
the location from which it originated. I looked at the param tags in the
applet of www.abcnews.com, and it is passing the name of a text file to the
applet, which makes me think this must be true. However, I can't find a
place that tells me how to do it. Can you tell me if this is indeed
possible, and if so how to go about doing it?
thanks
