This project is payable ($500) on acceptance and delivery of your code,

Acceptance means that your solution has reliably demonstrated the
described behaviors, to our satisfaction.

Delivery means that you have turned over all sources/tools/notes and etc.
which apply to and are used in the creation of the solution.

Functional Description:

Browser window 1 has a link which opens Browser window 2.

Browser window 2 contains a 1.1.x *signed* applet. 

The applet has only two (AWT) controls:
   a) a button which will invoke a specific method (discussed below)
   b) a label which will display the results of said method

The method which the button will invoke must read the location of browser
window 1, regardless of it's location (that's why it is signed), and 
display the URL of said location using the label.

How your code will be evaluated:

I go to your demo site (in window 1).
I click the link to launch your new window (window 2), with the applet.

I click the button on the applet and the label text changes to the location 
of your site.

In window 1, I change the location bar to http://www.somewhere.com

I click the button on the applet again, and the label text changes to: 
http://www.somewhere.com

I repeat this process n times, and each time your applet correctly reads the
current location of browser window 1.

Requirements:

  - Only Java 1.1.x solutions will be considered
  - No plug-ins are allowed
  - No downloads are allowed
  - You cannot close (and/or re-open) browser window 1
