Is there a way to pop up a relevant HTML help screen when pressing a key (F1) in a Java applet?<br />
<br />
I've seen some discussion on this advising the use of HTML components, Swing text boxes and even Java browsers (e.g. ICE) but all I want to do is trigger a page from the browser I've currently got open. &nbsp;The one that's running my applet.<br />

Is this impossible?<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
