There is no easy way to do this. Possible options:

  1. Run servlets or CGI scripts on your web server. Have the applet
communicator back to the web server to transmit the HTML output there.
Then use showDocument with a CGI URL that will tell the server to
display the stored HTML output.

  2. Open a socket connection on port 80 to the browser. Have the
browser show in the target frame the URL http://localhost. Then transmit
the HTML output to the browser with all the appropriate HTTP tags. (Not
sure if this is possible.)

  3. Have an applet in the target frame with a HTML parser component.
Use some form of interapplet communication (static class variables,
infobus, etc.) to transmit the HTML content to the target applet.

I recommend #3.
