Is your project intended for 1.6+? If so, I
would strongly recommend using Desktop.browse(URI)
instead of the normal applet method.

In a sandboxed applet, it will fall back to using
showDocument(URL), but it will also work in a desktop
application (or a webstart launched app.).

Here is an example of a LinkLabel using Desktop

Hi Andrew and Roedy,

I looked at the "LinkedLabel.java" and I presently use
jdk1.5.0_12. So the import java.awt.Desktop; is a problem.
And I am reluctant to get the Java 1.6+ for the reason I did
download it once only to regret that I did and had to step
back to the jdk1.5.0_12

Now, regarding "Hybrid.java" I have the program and
attempted to run it. As a standalone it goes nowhere
because it has no "main" and what is "fireup", never
have seen that before? So I have to ask"what goes where?"
A few hints, please.

I think that it is a wrapper for an applet. I need an
explanatiion, please or a samle of what it looks like when
it is written in/outside of an applet. I have a sample
applet here below.
TIA,
bH

Here is my sample applet:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class test1 extends Applet {
  Image image;

  public void init() {
   image = getImage(getClass().getResource
                      ("images/bird.gif"));
  }

  public void paint(Graphics g) {
    g.drawImage(image,0,0,this);
    g.setColor(Color.RED);
    g.drawString("test1",20,20);
  }
}

Roedy's Hybrid.java is below:

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;

/**
* Converts a Applet into an Application.

  public static void fireup( final Applet applet,
                            final String title,
                            final int applicationWidth,
                            final int applicationHeight )

    final Frame frame = new Frame( title );
    // allow some extra room for the frame title bar.
    frame.setSize( applicationWidth + 16, applicationHeight + 36 );
    frame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter()
                              {
