   (...) perhaps nice, but it also presents an enormous security issue. Can you give a description of what it does before I turn my browser into a security hole? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 21-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

     (...) lol It certainly is one way to get someone's attention - too bad I couldn't read it. It needs to shut off after a few seconds and it would be better.

        Re: Fun with JAVA —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) Yup, the future doesn't look too bright. It's a really bad thing to allow the script language to control the geometry of the client window. I'll be keeping Java turned off for the near future, I think. By the way, anybody remember the cool (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Fun with JAVA —Jeremy H. Sproat
   (...) Nononononononono --- it's Javascript that does that (1). Last time I checked, Java doesn't have any control over the browser's window geometry. I keep Java turned on, Javascript turned off. (...) And this is why I keep Javascript turned off. (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Fun with JAVA —Fredrik Glöckner
     (...) It can? *shiver*! Anyway, the early version of Netscape 2.0 I talked about didn't have any Java-thingeys at all, and the sendmail-tag was impossible to turn off. It's a good thing they discontinued the feature. Personally, I don't use Netscape (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

     (...) Java crashes Nutscrape. Javascript doesn't. (...) In my client, all it can do is open a mailto: window, or send an email with the contents of a form _after_ you click a button, IIRC. (...) Except crashing the computer. Jasper (25 years ago, 28-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

         Re: Fun with JAVA —Jeremy H. Sproat
     (...) That's interesting. I've had many things crash Netscape for me -- Quicktime 3.0, Shockwave, HTML, etc. -- but never Java. Do you visit particularly bad applets? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 28-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Fun with JAVA —Jasper Janssen
     (...) HTML crashing netscape....... Big Chaos manor Onion to them ;) (...) That would probably be the problem. The typical crashing java applet tends to be the home-crafted (by someone else, though) kind. Jasper (25 years ago, 9-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
