Hide and Show applet

Anyone know how to hide and show an applet when there are incoming msgs, assume the applet is an chat applet.

you can just show/hide the applet panel using setVisible()

You could use a <div> tag and show hide the applet code. This solution is similar to dynamically showing/hiding text, although I am not sure if this will work in applets, since the applet tag will be there and therefore it will be loaded. Give it a try and see if it works.

I think, setVisisble() method will work for you and u can call this method by javascript.

if I want to hide/show the div when there is new incoming msg which is controlled by the applet. how can i access it?

let me explain in detail. let say I have a div and applet in jsp. the visibility of the div is controlled by the applet. When there is new incoming msg, the applet need change the visibility of the div to visible.

you'll need to call javascript to hide a div

The code I've posted above does exactly this.
