Technically you aren't doing anything wrong, but you should never
count on null layout working everywhere (no matter what the books
say).  Take the time to make it a GridBag or something real and you
should get better behaviour.

You can't override core language classes in the browser -- that would
make it really easy for Applets to be desctructive.  You can't make
old technology forwards compatible, either.  IE3 users can update the
VM with a simple download and get a bunch of bug fixes and still have
the crummy IE 3.x interface if they want.  IE 3.x was co-located in
time with beta and early 1.0 Java and works as well as the technology
at the time.

Time to stick a "best viewed with" label on your web pages that links
back to IE and MS.
