java-programmer, applet to applet communication I have an app and the latest running on an NT4 box, and the latest
microsoft security patch has broken the applets.

Applet A opens an new browser window which contains Applet B.
Applet B can no longer get information from applet A.

Any ideas on how to get these 2 applets to communicate with each other,
in different browser windows? This is running in Netscape 4.7.

Has anyone else had this problem>


Thanks!

java-programmer >> applet to applet communication Actually it should not work this way at all.
AppletContext is limited by the window there the applet is located.
Thus you can communicate with applets on the same page, but not on
different ones.
The fact it worked before shows that you explored some security hole on
your previous systems, and now this hole is finally fixed. The only
solution is to roll back to the previous stage (before the patch has
been applied).
