just a couple of pointers to the people using netscape 3.0b5 with windows: major bug in their set up (it is a beta...) that doesn't deal well with windows boxes. so use 2.* as a rule on a windows box until the bugs are out or until 3.0 comes out as solid (real soon, i'm told).
and regarding our java: it does work, but due to caching, classes in general may not come in due to a previous applet running. so what you need to do (in netscape) is go into 'Options', 'Network Preferences', and clear your cache. then go back to the page that the java is on, and you'll be able to see that which was intended to be seen. a little annoying, yes. but until browsers' caching becomes better dealt with, ya gotta do this. cross platform, alas. but for new technologies, sometimes you need to go around what bugs are inherent in the browsers to make your pages fully work. and for a technolgy as cross platform as java, the occaisional clearing of one's cache is a minor pain that takes two seconds to do that makes the web function a little more seamlessly. and once browsers deal with caching a little more intelligently, it'll be smooth(er) sailing on the web...
until then....
