If there are 10 instances of the Applet, you must OK 10 times. If you reload the page, you must re-ok another 10 times. There is box that says "do not show this again for this app". Ticking it does nothing. This is insane. Somebody should be shot, as Dr. Melzak used to say. Other that turning off security entirely, what are the magic settings in the Java control panel to get the old sensible behaviour?. Unsigned apps run automatically. Signed ones require Ok. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com Students who hire or con others to do their homework are as foolish as couch potatoes who hire others to go to the gym for them.
