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.
