Card Layout vs. ContenPane

843807

I'm developing an applet which has two screens. An initial screen which accepts data from the user and then a second screen which returns results. I'm wondering what the best way to code this would be. I've thought of two options, using a card layout, or two content panes and then setting them appropriately. Which is the better option?
Thanks

If u r using 2 different screens,make them into 2 different applets and go for interapplet communication.This might be a cumbersome way but it will definitely work.The only condition would be that the 2 applets should reside in the same CODEBASE.Use NAME tag in the HTML file,so that u can use getApplet(String) method of AppletContext interface to get reference to the applet.
e.g:
Applet app1 = getAppletContext().getApplet("Applet2");

If this doesn't work go for Tabbed Panes which will offer a good solution

Doesn't it make more sense to use a cardLayout or to set the contentPane then to make two seperate applets?
