(chuckles) You probably can, but for every developer
that stresses over it, thousands of users benenfit
from it.

And while on the subject, I was a bit perplexed
by your other post, given your current version
does not work for me.

I have a suggestion. Upload a new sub-directory
inside the one you currently have on your site.

<http://www.francesdelrio.com/java/applets/2/>

Upload the latest HTML, .class and .java to the
directory, and add a link from the HTML to the java.

That will neatly sidestep the caching problem
for each new page. (You can be confident you
see the applet the first time you check it,
even with class caching.)

I suspect it does not work because you are confused
and *think* you uploaded the new stuff, but didn't.
You might have seen it work locally and been mistaken
that you were lookin at the site.

(And people wonder why I claim that 'Applets ar not
for beginners' - many seasoned developers break down
and cry when developing applets.)

Sometimes Frances, with applets you need to, ..set
them aside. Shut-down the computer, meet up with some
friends and 'get roaring drunk'/'sing dance and laugh'..
