Is there an easy way to see what version of the JRE a web browser is
using?

To check visually try:

To check in code use:
System.getProperty("java.vm.version")
(or one of the other relevant properties)

The Applet displays three fields, but the they are a little small:

Apple Inc. Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_16-133
Apple Inc. 1.5.0_16
No MS build version available

Would a default column width be easier to view?

Could be.

It is straight TextField with setText (no layout manager).

How small are they on Mac ? (they seems OK ok Win + FF + SUN Java)

Got it, thanks! TextField has a constructor that takes an initial value
column size: e.g. new Textfield("", 20). Here's a screenshot in Firefox:

That is completely unreadable.

Let me try and do something.

Better. It could use a little more width in the applet tag, though.

Excellent! Looks good in Safari, too.
