Hi
Swing is actually the latest GUI feature and if used properly can make
the applets real user friendly. Now to put swing components on the browsers
use HTMLConverter utility as browsers directly don't support them .... as
far as I know no browser is swing compatable but using HTML converter we can
put Swing components on the web.
Just one extra thing is needed, if u r using HTMLConverter 2.0 or above then
u need jre1.3 ... this can be got from javasoft.com/products/swing site.
