Communication between JavaScript and Applet's running the browser is tennuous at best. If it worked before the SP, my guess is the problem is security related. You need to determine if the applet is still receiving JavaScript messages. Then you need to determine if the applet is able to reply back to JavaScript. If these work then the issue is likely to be the applet's call to the server.

Can someone explain when tags are executed? Namely, custom tags and the <sql> tag. The problem is we currently have a web app that has a jsp's JavaScript communicating with an applet that can query a database. It allows us to do real-time validation against database values. We know it is bad design. It's an older system and already have vowed not to use it in future projects. However, testing with XP service pack 2 is freezing the applet. So we are trying to come up with some alternatives without having to redesign and rewrite portions of existing apps. Someone came up with the idea of using the <sql> tag, but I thought that ran on the server before the response was sent to the browser, thus it wouldn't work for real-time validation. Would a custom tag work? Or are those run on the server as well?
