I got the following suggested sleep applet:
It wasn't much more than a suggestion. I just checked on what on you asked about and this seemed to work.

runner.start();
This is very bad. I was more used to normal applets which I think do need some kind of thread to run off of. This doesn't seem to need one, I tested last night with these two lines commented out and it runs fine without them. A wrong idea that didn't get deleted in testing. You do not want to spawn a new thread every time you pause, especially if you are going to do a lot of it. Please remove these if you plan on doing anything at all based on what I sent you.
And after fiddling with it the applet tag no longer bombs out my page:

This seems all right, but somehow I’m still not getting the sleep.
I modified mine to include the parameter you have added for the duration in the sleep method, I am not sure what page crash mine had for you? Other than that it still seems to work fine for me with Safari and this set up.
