Killing an applet

[nickmphillips]

Is there any way to programmatically kill an applet? I've tried adding
an exit button, which invokes a web page with javascript that closes
the invoking window, but to no avail - the applet window keeps on
coming back! Surely, there must be an easy way not involving java
script.

Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried making the exit button do a System.exit(0)?

Applets can't invoke System.exit. Without interfacing with JavaScript
you can't programmatically close the browser window containing some
applet. However Java methods can invoke JavaScript and vice-versa,
if you set up the HTML web page correctly.
