Hello!

I'm not sure this is the right forum, but I'm sure you'll let me know if
it's not.  :)

I noticed that Java applets running under Netscape on FreeBSD seem to have
some problems.  They can't connect sockets back to their host server.  I can
live without blind socket connectivity, but even HTTP resources don't seem
to download.  For example, I can't get my applet to display a simple image!

I must be doing something wrong.  Is there some little HTML bit or something
I need to include to get a simple image to download to an applet running
under FreeBSD Netscape?  My applet works under IE and NS under Windoze, and
I'm a fairly senior Java developer so I don't *think* it's my code.  Here's
a reduced version of code which demonstrates the problem.

public class Research extends Applet
{
 static Image blankButton;

 public void init()
 {
  blankButton = getImage( getCodeBase(), "images/blankbutton.gif" );
 }

 public void paint( Graphics g )
 {
  g.drawImage( blankButton, 0, 0, this );  // Null pointer exception is
thrown here
 }

Here's the HTML:

<!DOCTYPE HTML><HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
<APPLET CODE="Research.class" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=500></APPLET>
</BODY></HTML>

Thanks in advance,
Rick
