Hello people,

I was writing an applet for a challenge site and some people there reported that the applet displayed different results when run under Firefox and Opera. I wrote another one basing on the same applet for testing and the results were different again. I never thought Java was browser-dependent until now. I asked some of my friend to test it again and they experienced the same problem. So can you test it again and if possible have a look at the source code to see what the problem could be?

I haven't looked at the source code, but it works fine for me using Opera 9.0 beta on Mac OS X (i.e. the result is 'good', which I guess means the applet is working as required). Safari and Firefox also work, which is to be expected since all three browsers use the same JVM plugin (JavaSE 5.0). The Opera 9.0 beta also works for me on Windows XP.
