Thank you. I will take that into consideration for the next applet I 
develop.

It's good to know that the <applet> tag is still supported. I recently 
switched to using XHTML 1.0 and when I first noticed that the applet no 
longer worked - after not having tried it for some time - I thought it 
might be the <applet> tag that was the problem. Apparently, that tag is 
deprecated in XHTML 1.0 so I commented out the <applet> tag and tried to 
write an appropriate <object> tag. Luckily, <object> worked fine once I 
fixed a typo but I couldn't tell that it was working until I got the Java 
Console to work; that informed me that I was simply missing some classes in 
my jar. That led to my next question, which I see you've already 
answered....
