Danny,
You need to remember that applets are not always desirable or feasible. The
browser wars really limited the feasibility of applets outside of conrolled
Intranet environments... (that may change with AOL's shipment of Java 2
Standard Edition and Navigator, but that will take time...).
I generally prefer variations of HTML clients over applets because you have
a lot more flixibility, especially when you consider the fact that PDAs and
cell phone-PDA hybrids are coming into the picture as potential clients.

Hey!
You guys are working way too hard trying to make servlets and HTML
do interactive processes.
IMO, when interactivity get this complicated you are better off with an
Java applet or appication.
Sans adieu,
