*ack* CROSS-POSTED!!! Follow-ups set. Please post to one or two
applicable newsgroups rather than everything you can find.

URL source = Applet.getDocumentBase();
URLConnection connection = source.openConnection();

Then use the URLConnection to read the data in the page. There is no
portable way I am aware of to request the data from the browser, though
this method should use the browser's cached copy.
