4.0 Browsers

Some features of Java applets are not working properly under the newly released 4.0 browsers from Microsoft (such as: the inability to transfer to another URL) and Netscape (only strange colors in label areas). Our applets work great under Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and Netscape Navigator 3.0 on a Windows platform. We hope the browser vendors will correct the Java problems soon.
