1. There is no group that relates to a problem in the intersection of
HTML and Java - and that is exactly where this problem lay.
2. After all the help on this forum (Sarcasm), I figured it out on my
own. I guess I wasn't so "Stupid" after all.
3. For anyone else who might see this problem in the future :
Firefox requires the display property to be switched between
"None" and "Table-Row" to dynamically display table rows.
IE, on the other hand, requires switching between "None" and
"Inline" (Or "Block") to do this.
Java, when in a div or table row that has had it's display style
switched to "none" will reload as if the page it is on has just been
reloaded.
The way around these problems is to not put the java applet into a
table row that will be dynamically displayed or not. Put it in a DIV
element that has it's "Visibility" style dynamically tweaked, and use
absolute positioning to put it in the right place.
