in reply to applets in CGI

Decent web browsers don't care how the server generated HTML. They'll handle it the same whether it's static, from a CGI program written in C, Perl, Tcl, or some shell, or from an application server.

I suspect the paths or permissions are incorrect somehow. Without seeing your code and configuration information, however, all anyone can do is guess.

      Do you need to give menuscroll2.class a path? Since your running a cgi-bin program, it is probably looking for menuscroll2.class in the cgi-bin directory.
