Thanks for your reply Aaron, I managed to find an example of the IFrame Shim method working on applets here: http://www.oratransplant.nl/2007/10/26/using-iframe-shim-to-partly-cover-a-java-applet/
So if the IframeShim class doesn’t work on applets I am assuming that I would have to edit the code to make it work?
