Porting from Swing to AWT?

[Ramon F Herrera]

Just when I became proficient with Swing, I found out that
MS IE doesn't support it and hence I will have to downgrade
my applets to AWT. I use JBuilder 8 and have been looking
around the "Choice" and "Popup" classes, which seem to be
the predecessors of JComboBox.

Is there some tutorial or source code available on how
to implement Swing-less drop down boxes, with events
and all?

TIA,

What's the plan when IE doesn't even know what an AWT Applet is?

a) MS IE does support Swing with the proper plug-in (for the moment), and

b) you should switch to Mozilla or Opera, anyway. Internet Explorer has
dropped the ball and fallen behind with regard to support of web
standards (see also: <http://www.webstandards.org/>).

Completely off topic, but maybe interesting:
New versions of Internet Explorer (7 and higher) won't be available
as a seperate download anymore. They will only be installed together
with a (new) version of Windows.
Furthermore, it is not possible anymore to install Internet Explorer
from the website on Windows 98, not even version 5 (though it
keeps working and being updated if you have already installed it)
