scrolling problems in Internet Explorer

[Guest mkarmali]

I have a Java applet that uses the drawString method (of the Graphics class)

to "draw" rectangles and other shapes when called in my paint method.

 

I also embed the same applet in an html page to be run in Internet Explorer(

my html uses the "APPLET CODE" tag and provides the class file name).

 

Now, on my desktop when I "run" the applet by opening the html page in IE,

it works fine -- by which I mean that using IE's vertical scroll bar the page

scrolls correctly and shows me the part of my graphics that was hidden at the

bottom. It continues to display my applet. However, on my laptop it doesn't

work. As soon as I scroll, the "painted" stuff just disappears completely. I

get a blank white screen and the drawings disappear.

 

I am wondering if it is some kind of setting or option in "Internet Options"

that are different between the two computers(both run XP)? Can anyone help? I

would really appreciate it.

 

Thank you.

Sounds like typical problems that might be suffered by

an improperly coded Java GUI. I suggest you debug the

code first over on comp.lang.java.help or comp.lang.java.gui*

before wonderring about the settings in the user's browser.

 

* And for those groups, we'll generally demand the example

code, and an URL for the live applet.

Thanks for your reply. But for debuging, where should I go and what should I

do? I donot understand what you mean exactly. Thanks
