SYMPTOMS
You may notice that the TextArea function in the Internet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01 Java Virtual Machine (VM) does not update as quickly as in Internet Explorer 3.02.



CAUSE
The portion of the Java VM that implements the TextArea function was written using the Microsoft Application Foundation Classes (AFC). Earlier implementations (such as the Internet Explorer 3.02 implementation) use Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API) functions. Because of the AFC implementation, the Internet Explorer 4.0 and 4.01 Java VM TextArea function performs slower than in earlier versions.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 and 4.01. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Application Foundation Classes (AFC) is a set of Java class libraries that provide user interface components and graphics effects for use in Java-based programs and applications. AFC is a component solution that conforms to Java Development Kit 1.1 specifications and is licensed to be redistributed with the Microsoft Win32 VM for Java. AFC can also be redistributed with Afc102.zip for browsers that only support JDK 1.0.2.
