Hi Florian, Thanks for being patient with me. I agree with you that being standards compliant is not a bug in itself, and that standards compliance is generally a good thing. Honestly, I'm not taking issue with the applet not running. The page was written with incorrect code, so according

Actually, I completely disagree with you, Florian. This is indeed a bug. Yes, the change in the applet code DOES fix the problem, but that is not the issue in question. The bug that I reported is that a Java applet, which is claimed to be completely cross platform (write once, run everywh
