Another quick-''n-simple question I have a lot of .class files building my applet, and I want to put them all into one .jar archive. But how do I make the browser understand which .jar package to get in order to find the classes?

APPLET archive="xxx.jar" code="yyy.class" width=".." height=".."
...
/APPLET

According to my HTML reference, ARCHIVE is Netscape-specific. Is it really generally accepted by all browsers?

hmmm.. don''t know. I took the example from "Java Examples in a Nushell".

Yes, I beleive archive is NS specific. You would need a CAB file as well and another option to make it work under both, or have the classfiles in a directory and only use the jar file for netscape.

I''ve never had a problem with IE understanding archive= and opening jar files.

Jim is right. IE can easily understand the ARCHIVE keyword. I have done it several times and used it from IE.
