BTW, I think that comment sounded a little nastier than I meant it to. Just trying to give some helpfule feedback :-) Cool concept though.

Sorry about that, but it's the Java plugin. Not a lot I can do about that:-(

I got the same failure with a WebKit nightly. I run Java applets and JWS apps from the browser all the time, so the Java Plugin doesn't seem to be broken on my system.

Could it be because I'm still stuck on Java 1.5?

I checked on it, and it's giving me errors even with the latest Java from here:

Sigh... I wish the Java guys would get it together.
