[mapserver-users] Mapplet under 3.5 (FWD)

[Ed McNierney]

Armin -

Actually, any browser that can run Java 2 (a/k/a JRE 1.3 or greater)
will provide PNG support to applets.  You don't need to go to Netscape 6
to do that, but the applet, of course, has to take advantage of that
support.

Stuart,

It should have to do with the PNG output. I think that only Netscape 6
(using the 1.3 java plugin) will show png files in a java applet. So
you'll
have to use mapserver with GIF output. That should work fine then.
