Automatic focus to Java applet

[Czentnar]

Hello!
Is it possible to focus to the applet on load automatically?
I've found a few pages but they don't work. They suggest to use JavaScript in the HTML.
(for example: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19506 )

I've also read that there is a solution in Java:

But I couldn't try this...

Thanks!

Hi Czentnar

I've been having the exact same problem. And haven't found a solution yet.

Right now I design my java apps in a way that people are encouraged to click them at start. Eg. first frame will say "click to begin" game or have a menu or something that requires user interaction and therefor will set the focus to the app.

If you come up with a solution, please share your findings

Hello Burfelt! Thanks for the reply. I haven't found any solution yet but I will share it when I find it, sure!
The best way could be currently what you've said. Write somewhere that "click to activate" or something like this.
I've used MMF2's Java to make an intro for my website. If you take a look on it you will see that it looks a bit weird at the beginning, until you don't click on it.
