Well, when I click on your link I get an error "page not found".
Maybe the directory just changed?
In your case, the basic.dsm is in the same directory as the applet, so why
don't you refer to the file relatively?

"./basic.dsm"

the other applets use:

"<subdirectory_name>/<filename>"

to access the file. Don't specify the whole path just for the reason that it
will be broken easily when changing the directory structure.
