Returns: an enumeration of all applets in the document represented by this applet context. It does not return ALL the Applets, only some of them, and sometimes NONE of them but yourself. I consider that a bug. Now a lawyer would argue about the sleazoid "context" wording to excuse the behaviour. The docs should at least warn you that it only works up to 11 instances. Oracle instead screws you around so they don't have to admit a problem. You test with 2 or 3 instances. It works, so you assume it will work for more. IT DOES NOT. And the buggers refuse to warn you. I have wasted so much time on this that coud have been saved by adding one sentence to the docs. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com "Don't worry about people stealing an idea; if it's original, you'll have to shove it down their throats." ~ Howard Aiken (born: 1900-03-08 died: 1973-03-14 at age: 73)
