But it does! That's what it's all about;-)

No you don't. You must however host the applet-code at the host where
the vncserver lives. This has nothing to to with VNC, but is just a
matter of Java security, that allows a restricted applet only to connect
back to its origin host.

The JVM where the applet runs checks the applets codebase.
I'll see if I can look through it cause

It's a nice idea to put a page up somewhere, where anyone could submit
their vnc applet paramaters. I have a HTML-form/perl-script, that
creates applet-tags for the vnc applet from form-input (but for an
entirely different reason). Maybe you can use some if it? It was the
first & last perl I ever did though;-)

days, just try again)
Don't forget about embed and object tags for Java plugins too.
Good luck,
