Display Java Applet view & provide search

Am converting my client application to web and would like to maintain exactly the same look and feel for client as well as web.

On web, views seem to look exactly (as much as possible) same if displayed with applet especially with selection margin etc… (in HTML the selection appears as checkbox or radio button as per my coding). So, I guess I will have to go with displaying views in applet.

  1. Can anyone tell me drawbacks of using applet or provide comparison between views displayed in HTML Vs. Applet.

  2. How to provide search on this view. Is it possible to provide search like in client where I can type directly on view. I haven’t noticed such facility but maybe someone knows a workaround or maybe has built a search which displays documents starting with the searched string.
