There is a big applet on the web in
http://www.jeasy.de that runs with the PlugIN. Try to run the applet JEasy Repository. If it works it is something wrong in your source or html.
You may download JEasy and look at the Example source. There is an Example.html that works well.
I had the same problem before. Seeing nothing on the screen but the applet runs.
Here are some important lines:
public class Example extends JApplet {
// extends from JApplet not Applet
If your main window is a panel don't forget that you have to add
a child to its contentPane:
getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
// first set the Layout of the panel
getContentPane().add( yourPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// then add your panel to the Applets contentPane
Good luck
