You need to go to the netscape developer site and read the documentation
relating to the netscape security model; this requires requesting access to
specific objects before actually accessing them. It's worked fine for me
in the limited amount of signed applets I've produced.
http://developer.netscape.com
: I've been able to get the java applet reader to read a local file by calling
: it with an argument to a local policy file I made using policytool, but
: haven't been able to get netscape or IE to allow the applet to read the
: file. I'm trying to do this on Windows 95. I've seen Sun's Java tutorial
: pages, but the advice there only seems to apply to their applet reader
: rather than to the browsers themselves.

: Alternatively, does anyone know of any way to get JavaScript to read a local
: file...everything I've suggests it can't be done.
