 Hi,

contained -- on the client side, anyway.  You may be working with applets that need to send/receive data to/from other applets on other pages, but  
such is not the case here.

Three combo boxes, the lists of two of which are dependent on the selection of the previous one?  Probably.  
 
You can still derive your specific solution from a tested JDK demo applet with dropdown lists (e.g. "samples/sun/GraphicsTest" or ".../DrawTest" )

 YES - think of the fact that a script solution is *a bit* more open to anybody outside (hackers or other companies who might copy parts of your webpage concept for any reason) than a compiled applet - and a script solution should run slower in many non-JIT cases (of cause that comes into consideration when you want to graphically enhance the webpage appearance later).
 
IMHO the main point is:
Does the company looking for a solution have "to feed" several separate design and programming departments - or is it a smaller company with developpers (getting a higher salary or even being owner of [parts of] the company) that can combine programming and design concepts in one project on their own - perhaps like Tomm in his company.
