Applets are only allowed to get resources from their own server. Your fundamental error in thought is that applets are not at all like CSS. CSS is a brower-interpreted, client-side phenomenon. Applets are a JVM-run, server-side phenomenon that just happen to run out of a browser. Big difference. Now stop whining about your pathetic thoughts of how things "should" be and deal with reality as it actually is, or find a profession that doesn't require rational reasoning. Or write your own technology to compete with applets. Just stop whining over and over and over and over and over and over about how you think in your infinite wisdom and genius that things should be different than they actually are. You'll never get the job done that way. It's pathetic. -- Lew Honi soit qui mal y pense. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Friz.jpg
