Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 90268

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021006
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021006

I put an applet into a <div> tag, then dynamically I hide the div: the result is
that applet is destroyed and then initialized again when I display the div.
If the applet life cycle is init, start, stop, destroy, I wonder why Mozilla
destroys the applet even if I don't unload the page and then initialize it again.
I think Mozilla should only stop the applet when I hide the div.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put an applet into a <div> tag
2. Hide the div. 
3. Display the div. 

Actual Results:  
The applet is destroyed.
The applet is initialized again.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should only stop the applet when I hide it in order to maintain applet
alive and not initialize it again.
