HTML linking and java applets

[Bomber_Will]

Is there a way to make a HTML link that if the user presses it, it would open a new window displaying an applet only? I seen some gaming websites that if you click on the link, a new window would open with just the game and none of the clutter the rest of a webpage would give.

I don't have a clue about JavaScript but i'll look into it, thanks.

Try this code to open a new window from an applet :

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class testURL_NewWindow extends Applet implements ActionListener{

public void init(){
String link_Text = "google";
Button b = new Button(link_Text);
b.addActionListener(this);
add(b);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
//get the button label
Button source = (Button)ae.getSource();
String link = "...give any link.....";
try
{
AppletContext a = getAppletContext();
URL url = new URL(link);
a.showDocument(url,"_blank");
// a.showDocument(url,"_self");
// _self to open page in same window
}
catch (MalformedURLException e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}

Yeah, it is quite possible to open a new browser window by applet code showDocument(url,"_self");
But the button must be in the applet too.
