OK, then I'll download the latest JRE release and see if it breaks the 
applet or not. Thanks for you input!

Thank you all for your input! I'd still like to hear any comments you 
might have, if you can take the time.

One of my goals is to prepare a full-on cellular automata gallery that 
anyone (with a graphics card) can view.

Got it, and it's broken! I can now proceed accordingly. Thanks again.

Your web server has to deliver .class files as application/octet-stream. Sun 
did this to kludge around the fact that many sysadmins didn't want to fix 
their web server to use an official content type for .class files, so Sun 
decreed that it had to be served with the default "I don't know what this 
is" content type.

If your web server serves it as the default "this is HTML" then you need to 
change that.

Likely for the same reason that everyone bitches at IE letting hidden worms 
in: IE will look into the content of the file it gets that's served with the 
wrong content type and fix that, for the same reason that Sun decreed you 
must serve applets with the wrong content type. It gets around misconfigured 
servers.

Don't you love web development? :-)

Alright, it's narrowed down to one or two possibilities. Thanks!

When it's not giving me trouble, it's boring the heck out of me (HTML). 
Sometimes it seems like the problems expand outward in a branching 
structure...

I think I can see the end of this limb though :/

I have coined the term Zeno's Debugger for that.

Every time you try to figure out what's causing the error, you have to first 
debug the tool you're using to figure out what's causing that error, 
recursively.
