RE: OSX / IE applet paint problem

Thanks for the suggestions Joshua. I tried both of them, but neither of them
worked.

Two thoughts:

1) Instead of doing this:

<a href="javascript:window.open('foo.html', 'win', ...)">

Do this:

<a href="foo.html" target="win" onclick="javascript:window.open('',
'win', ...)">

That has solved all my IE+Java+Popup problems.

2) Send the focus to the applet using Javascript:

<body onload="javascript:document.appletNameGoesHere.focus()">

I've had to use this when hiding and showing DIVs on DHTML pages.
The applet just suddenly stops painting until it gets focus.
