applet launches a browse resistent window

I have an applet on every page of my web app that polls a servlet.
I wish to launch some flavour of popup that persists whilst the user
browses.

1/ Launching anything like a JFrame from the applet is destroyed after
a page nav. I guess that all threads that are 'owned' by the applet
are destroyed, setDaemon(false) does not work.

2/ Launch a new browser window using
http://browserlaunch2.sourceforge.net/index.shtml But this does not
allow window sizing like a jscript popup does.

3/ Use JScript and launch the JScript from the applet.

So at the moment I'm concentrating on the 3rd approach, but since I
don't want the above list to grow into even more false trails, does
anyone else have suggestions. JWS may be number 4.

Must be 1.5 and pref 1.4 compatible

Thanks,
Mike W
