<applet ID="RotatingPicture1" NAME="RotatingPicture1"
CODE="RotatingPicture.class" CODEBASE="../" HEIGHT=366 WIDTH=550
ALT="Rotating Picture"> ...

This is an IE only thingy. And then only for visitors who permit
ActiveX controls. Many do not, due to the possible security breaches
from malicious sites.

Others with different browsers won't see it at all.

<meta NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">

Ah. That explains it. FrontPage generates many things that do not work
on the WWW. Consider some other technology, such as thumbnails and
then the visitor has the choice to only view images s/he wants to see,
rather than download them all.

Actually it is a standard HTML 3.2 tag to include a Java Applet.
Although it is deprecated in HTML 4 it is still widely used and
supported. Therefore here we have Java availability requirement not
ActiveX permissions. The page including the Java Applet is displayed
just fine in both my Mozilla and IE browsers.

Probably some visitors with IE and WinXP which doesn't include the
JVM (Virtual Machine for Java) wouldn't see it. Notice that WinXP
SP1 installs the MS JVM while the SP1a doesn't, on a WinXP system.
Users could get the Sun's JRE (Java Run-time Environment) which
includes the browser plug-in from the www.java.com site.

The OP could include info on getting the Java plug-in as alternative
content of your APPLET element:

<APPLET ... >
<PARAM ... >
Your browser doesn't support Java Applets, have them disabled or
is misconfigured.
<a href="http://www.java.com/">Get Java</a>
</APPLET>

The OP might consider using the OBJECT tag
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#include-objects>
instead APPLET, too.

Hmm, ok. <g> I have IE set to prompt for ActiveX, and it did and I
said no. Didn't realize that could also represent Java.

I'm using Win2K, but have Java turned off...

Notice that you can achieve the same effect using an animated gift
instead of a Java applet. Then, you'll have no problems with any
browser.

In terms of accessibility one could think of better method instead
using large animated GIF - a tiny JavaScript which cycles the
images, loading and replacing the current in the document one at a
time, would be more sane solution, IMO. The image itself could be
placed in a hyper link which points to a page containig all the
images in cases where a UA doesn't have JavaScript support or has it
turned off.

Do you happen to know some web page which uses this approach?

I'd like to suggest to you that "How can I fix this issue?" is a poor
subject for a newsgroup posting. Assuming that it would benefit you to have
a large number of people take the time to open your message, using a subject
that sums up the nature of your problem would be wise. Simply stating that
you *have* a problem doesn't distinguish your message from a thousand others
that are posted here, and makes it much less likely that any given person
will take the time to open it and read it.

Here's a very draft example:

http://www.geocities.com/stanio/temp...e_for_you.html

I'm not JavaScript expert and I don't have time to experiment more
with this one. Notice that if JavaScript is active I remove the
'href' attribute from the A (link) element so it doesn't act as a
link anymore (if JavaScript is active), but one could make it other
way depending on what the final result should be.

One could make the linked page to contain only thumbnail links with
descriptions, one could enhance the javascript to change the 'href'
of the link in the main document to change with the images, etc.
Using this approach you're not restricted to use 256 color palleted
images only but TrueColor PNGs and JPEGs also.
