Are you are refering to creating links inside applets? This would mean that you would tell the browser running some applet to load a new page.

Creat a new instance of the class URL. There are four different forms. Here is an example, keep in mind that because you have to catch a malformed URL exeception, the URL constructor shoud be surrounded with a try...catch:

import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;

String url = "http://www.oracle.com/";
try { new_URL = new URL(url); }
catch ( MalformedURLExeption e) {

   System.out.println("Something went wrong in trying " + new_URL); }
/* now you can pass it to the browser */ getAppletContext().showDocument(new_URL);

I hope this would help. Received on Sun Jul 14 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
