What has been difficult or unsuccessful
- Memory management - browser can crash
- Relative priority of threads is hard/impossible to control,
particularly when images are loading
- The browser cache is hard to deal with:
- files with unchanging names, such as
contents.txt
have to be supplied by a cgi
script that includes Pragma: no-cache
in
the header, or they may not be reloaded
- No easy push for new versions into the
browser's mysterious (to me) applet cache.
- (We had to rename classes to force a new version
to be used. Is there a better method?)
- Different browsers behave slightly differently
