Browser Reload Problem with static control

Under Windows with IE Browser i have a strange problem ( using jdk 1.4.x ).

I use a static Edit Field ( it is a lightweight owner drawn component ) , this edit field enables AWT events thru

enableEvents(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);

the Panel where it is added also enables AWT events and has a KeyListener interface.

After hiting the Reload Button and clicking with mouse into my edit field, i get no key events, really really strange.

This strange problem is only seen when the applet is called from a frame in a frameset. When i use a plain html file without frames, i cant reproduce this problem.

Any suggestions ???

Uhm… maybe a requestFocus() hack? (via paint() ::))

ok i managed to get a focus now, but there is no keyboard input possible.

my owner drawn control has now the focus, but it gets no key events, maybe the last instance is eating my key events grrrrrrrrrr

everything is fine when i use M$ 1.1 VM
