Copy Link

[mrnightowl]

Before I dive into this project I would like to know if it is possible to have an applet copy a link location from another site to a form?

Can you elaborate more please.

Do you mean to say that the applet will retrieve urls or contents from another website...and then append the retrieve contents into a page.

if that is what you mean, then you should look at DomServices which allows Applets to access a HTML DOM and control elements similarly to JavaScript.

Here is a link that demonstrates some code

Yes thats exactly what I mean... either to form or textarea for example.
Thank you for the link, I'll research it now.

Having some issues making heads or tails out of this DOM service. I use Eclipse do you happen to know of any tutorials or help guides concering DOM and Eclipse?

Sorry mate, I don't use Eclipse or any other IDE personally. I use JEdit (text editor)...and Java Docs for references etc. I personally find IDEs to be a pain with memory and slow computer down etc.

The only IDE that I use is MS Visual C# Express when programming in C#. As I am not all there with C# yet...and find the IDE to be helpful...and not slowing things down for me.

No problem I appreciate the info anyway! I find I learn better if I'm forced to do all the research and implement it myself so I understand what and why things work. This project isn't real pressing for me. I'm switching my site to a dedicated server tonight because of causing High Load on my shared server. They keep taking permissions on folders away or suspending my account completely. Spent all night last night getting php/sql queries to slow users down along with js. Which is working now. But now I'm pushing over 1,500 uniques a day and growing fast so I need to be dedicated. The entire purpose of me wanting to make an applet that does as I have stated, is to pull link data from myspace. Anyway... just abit of rambling about my plan and what I do. If anyone else has any input please let me know!
