Browsers
When testing Java applets, it is a good idea (and often
quite instructive) to test using different browsers, in
addition to the appletviewer tool. And there is no shortage
of browsers. On the PC, your choices may include Firefox,
Internet Explorer, and Opera. On the Linux machine the
choices may include Firefox, Opera, Konqueror and Galeon.

Refreshing an applet
When testing Java applets, you will often make changes in
your source code, then recompile and want to see the effect
in your browser. A simple refresh of the browser window does
not usually cause the applet to be reloaded. You may have to clear
your cache. Shutting the browser down and then starting it
up again will usually have the desired effect as well, but
this seems a bit extreme.
