Applets: key events, OBJECT/EMBED

[Stefan Reich]

OK, and here's the WEIRDEST thing: JTextField takes key events! See here:
http://tinybrain.de:8080/tb-applet/test.php

I'm now trying to find out how JTextField registers itself for key
events... I can do the same thing and get those events too, right?

Hope we can fix this, I really want to build an editor applet that works...
:)

Best,
Stefan
