Elliot Rusty Harold has a fabulous book on Java network programming. I
shows examples of how to do this.
You can do something like applet.getAppletContext.showDocument(url) to
replace the current page with something else.
If you want the current page to remain, but go get info from the server and
display it within your applet, you have 2 options.
1. Use sockets (java.net.socket).
2. Use java.net.HttpURLConnection.
