folks,

newbie here.

I am learning applets. should one stick to java.awt.* and only extend
Applet  or go for Japplet instead and pull in swing?

When I looked at some applets, most seem to be based on Applet, not
JApplet.

Basically I am asking, if I want to make sure my applet run best and
on most browser, should I just stick to awt and not include any swing
stuff? I know if I extend JApplet I can still use awt classes and
methods if I want to.

cheers
steve
