Hi,
IE and Netsdcape support JDK1.1, and the method you are trying is added in
JDK 1.2
If you have an applet that uses JDK1.2, you need to install the Java 1.2
plug in so you can see what you expect.
If you are developping applets, and you don't want to use the plug in, i
recommend using the JDK1.1. Choose it in the JBuilder project property, but
you need the JDK1.1 first!.

Subject: [jdjlist] Re: Parsing Double to String to be displace on the
web/applet
> My students often have this problem with IE. The JVM in IE is based on
Java 1.1. The parseDouble method was added with Java 1.2 so it doesn't work
with IE. I tell them to go back to the old way using the intermediate step
of creating a Double object from the String object and then converting the
Double object to a double. I've never seen this happen with Netscape but it
could be the same thing.
