How about something like this at the end of the page
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var aExists = 0;
function checkForApplet(thisApplet)
{
if(aExists != 1)
{
if(thisApplet)
{
aExists = 1;
break();
}
}
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
setInterval("checkForApplet('appletName')",3000);
</script>

Subject: RE: Determining if a java applet has been loaded in JS?
<sic>
I am sure that there is nothing vanilla with .js and browser which
uniquely identifies how much of the applet byte code has been loaded at
the loading time of the applet.
One solution would be to have two applets: one the continous progress
bar applet, and the other the actual applet. Once the actual applet is
loaded completely in the init() method of the applet you will have to
communicate to the other progress bar applet that the actual applet is
completely loaded and now it should stop showing the status "Loading
completed.."
The applet tag doesn't have an onLoad event handler, Its possible in
Netscape provided you are willing to tweak the Java applet's code to
call JavaScript using the JSObject of Netscape. Doesn't sound very
practical to be of any use though.
The JavaScript code can however look for the existence of the applets
array. It gets populated when the applet is loaded. The JS code can poll
for the loading status of the applet this way. But there's no event
driven mechanism to achieve the same that I can think of.
