Creating hyperlinks in an applet...

how do i make a simple String as a hyperlink in my java applet and when clicked, pass some parameters in the url to the target page??

kamalindia

Use getAppletContext().showDocument(URL) method to call the target page with parameter list

getAppletContext().showDocument("http://myserver.com/exampl1.jsp?site='javazone'");

hi raj,
thanks. Thats after a hyperlink is created and a user clicks on that then we can load the URL in that form.
But i want to know how to create that hyperlink in the applet. for example :
String link="Click Here";
Now how do i make this String 'link' as a hyperlink so that when a user takes the cursor over this text, it acts as an hyperlink.

Labels do not generate events.

kapitany

ahosang you are wrong. You can add a mouse listener to a label.
Methods inherited from class java.awt.Component
action, add, addComponentListener, addFocusListener, addInputMethodListener, addKeyListener,
addMouseListener, addMouseMotionListener, addPropertyChangeListener,
addPropertyChangeListener,

etc, so check the API.
