Java/browser latency on applet reload?
edu
Howdy all,
I'm having a minor problem viewing a particular Java applet.
This is _not_ something I wrote, but a demo from Sun available
on the Computer Science web server.
The applet works fine by itself, but has problems redisplaying
when I switch between pages that use the applet. For a demonstration
of the problem, please point your Java-enabled browser here:
http://www.cs.tamu.edu/people/jkp2866/cpsc489/
Towards the bottom, you should see a clock.
Next, click on the link labelled "here" below the clock
and then click on example1.html.
The problem I am having is that it sometimes takes a
long time for the clock to appear on this second page.
Furthermore, when I go back to the first (my) page,
the clock again takes a while to load. This is weird
since they are both being loaded from the same place
with the exception that my page uses the CODEBASE
field in the APPLET tag to point to the base directory
of the applet, while example1.html doesn't need this
since Clock2.class is in the same directory as the HTML.
I'm running Navigator 3.04 (just up from 3.03 which had
the same problem) under Win95 on a 486/100.
If I use Sun's appletviewer to pull each page up individually,
I get two windows, each with a clock (ie. it works correctly).
I'm interested in hearing from others what happens
with their browser/platforms.
TIA,
Tim Smith

I'm using Netscape Communicator 4.01a with a Pentium 166MMX and the
clocks both work fine with no latency problems.
