      Problem description....

      The IE browser calls a jsp that has a form
      An applet is created (Applet 1) that has the form that we have similar to the one in the other focus issue and a url link.
      There is another applet(Applet 2) that is not visible.
      this one acts for lack of other words a socket type listener that gets data and passes it to Applet 1
      This works fine and dandy the first time in

      When they hit the link it takes them to another page which is a standard html page with more links.
      When they hit one of those links it takes them back to the original Applet 1 where there is another form.

      What their working theory is at the moment is
      What happens is that when they go back to this Applet 1 both applets get reinitialized
      Applet 2 gets done last.
      Since this is not a visible Applet the focus gets passed to IE and the title bar.

      The problem is....
      Applet 2 is already passing data and is expecting focus to be in Applet 1
      and this creates a loop where it's trying to put data in and can't since the focus is not in Applet 1 and the user can't do anything until they exit out and come back where focus is then gained in Applet 1.
