FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
getDocumentBase for http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/index.html is
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/index.html

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION : w2k


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
getDocumentBase() in applet package is broken. It is
supposed to returns an absolute URL naming the directory of
the document in which the applet is embedded.

For example,
suppose an applet is contained within the
document: "http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/index.html"
The document base should
be:"http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/" based on
documentation on SUN's web site, but now it returns
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/index.html. please fix
it. Thanks.
