Reading your posting I began to wonder if you are mistaking Java for
JavaScript (?) Normally an applet would simply load into a rectangular
area on the page, and would not prevent the rest of the page from being
loaded and progressively rendered (apart from competing for network
bandwidth, naturally). Your description suggests you may be working
with JavaScript, not Java. (The two are related only by a similar
name and a vague similarity to the C syntax.)
To answer your two points from a Java applet point of view: Firstly,
Java can indeed control the loading of resources like images. If
the applet is written well it may function even before all its
resources have finished loading. If not, it won't! Secondly, if the
applet is on a page, and the browser departs for another page, the
applet may have to be loaded again - although typically a cached copy
will be used. The solution is to place the menu in its own frame.
