Loading Swing Applets

[chipperMDW]

When I write an applet using Swing and compile it using JDK 1.3.1, it runs fine in appletviewer, but it fails to load in any browser I've tried (including the most recent).

Is there a trick to using Swing I should know about? Do I just need to use a more recent version of Java? Do I need to get a plugin from somewhere?

Thanks for your help,
chip

No, most browsers have like version 1.1.7 of Java, this does not include swing and thus your swing applets do not work. You either need to include your swing classes in a jar file with the applet or have your web site users download a jre brower plugin from sun.
