Java applet fails to refresh properly

Hi,

I'm having trouble with a Java Applet that is residing on a normal .NET
page. The Java Applet sometimes seems to fail to refresh - this only
happens sometimes and can easily be fixed by minimizing and mazimizing
the window so it's definitely retrieving the data okay.

It this just an IE issue with Java Applets or is there a way to force
it to refresh the screen properly?

Thanks,

John.

URL? Where can we see this applet?

What is that? Are you referring to HTML?

What is the Java console reporting?

Which OS/Browser/VM* combination are you using? [1]

(* make and version)

Aha! [1] One of the six questions above answered,
what about the other 5?

Probably. I suspect the problem is in your code though,
you might link to the SSCCE that displays this problem.

I think you mean "paint" rather than "refresh". "paint" refers to
drawing stuff on the screen. If you use improper terminology you might
confuse people who might otherwise have been able to help you find a
solution.

Also, what is a "normal .NET page"? Are you saying you've got a page
generated via ASP.NET that hosts an applet? Does the issue fix itself when
you move the applet onto a static, plain, vanilla HTML page?
