I agree that it's probably impossible to have Java talk to JavaScript on 
the applet loading.  I certainly haven't found anything about that and our 
Java programmer didn't know any way to do it.  I was thinking of using a 
timeOut function as it's a small applet and we can estimate loading time.

How would you write the progress bar?

Thanks in advance,
