    Hmm...those are certainly applets... but what are all the dots after the
open paren's (I do mostly back-end code, so if this is a dumb html question, I
apologize...)? If there isn't a good reason for those periods (something
supported by IE but not NN?), then certainly those applets will all register as
text instead of working applets, because the tags aren't recognized... have you
tried taking them out?

    Just a thought...
