Tim,

Very interesting - I was told Safari didn't work with Mocha early on but 
another post today suggested it did work - or did it? The poster just 
said he saw the button. Hmm. I thought Mozilla, IE and Safari all used 
the same JVM on the Macintosh. It's odd that it works in two of the 
browsers but not the third.

Anyway, thanks for the information. I was afraid the popup menus might 
be a problem. I bet they're adhering to the Macintosh style so they're 
"wider" than the corresponding components on other operating systems. 
Writing my own lightweight version of a popup menu wouldn't be trivial.

I should really just move those components to the setup tab or switch to 
Swing components. Either that or use an Amiga-style rollover button - 
each time you press it, it takes you to the next option. (Kind of like 
the joystick button behaves now).

Thanks for reporting on the applet. I may post again if I think I have a 
solution to the Mozilla problem.
