Most of which I find my way around, however right now I need to do two things that aren't making themselves obvious by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps they can't be done. Background: It's an Applet that's run from the browser. 1) I check the lengths of the data in a few TextFields and if they're not at least a certain length I need to pop up a box that says so and after they click on OK they can fix it. In both Windows and OS/2-PM I had a function called MessageBox. Is there something similar here? 2) After all the boxes have been filled in and the Send button is pressed, I need to tell the browser to go to another URL (possibly a cgi). Is there something that will tell the browser to do it? I'm not really sure that this is what this list is about, but the traffic is rather low here so I thought I'd at least give this one a try.
