I have created a Japplet. I am using it in a page with two frames. It's sole
purpose is to be used as a menu, which includes submenus. The size of the
applet in the frame is height(100%), and width(20), so that when I click on the
menu it should come to the lower frame. It comes down to the lower frame and
it sticks to the screen. Even if you move the window or click in the window,
the menu remains there. It will disappear only if you click on the applet. This
is a minor one(But this problem does't exist in AWT). The real problem is as
below:

Suppose I click on New in the file menu. Afterwards I click on Open in the
file menu.Suppose some other item with a submenu is sandwitched in
between new and Open. After clicking on New and Open, if I bring the
mouse over to that item, it throws an exception, both for appletviewer and in
the java console of the Broswer. I am using IE 5 and IE 5.5 browser.
The exception is:

Exception occurred during event dispatching:

java.lang.NullPointerException: null pData

After this, I cannot select that item which created this exception.

The code files included are:

If you OpenFrameTest.html and use the applet as I said, the exception occurs.
