 Yes, exactly. He wants to have application embedded into web page
surrounded with some standard html elements.

If the customer wants the browser window, please
ask them exactly what that is supposed to do for
the user.


And /again/, what do those 'HTML elements'
*do* for the end-user?

But to get back to your original question,
as far as I understand it, you want to use
NB to write the code (applet or application).

So what is the problem exactly? NB has no
'wizard' for applets? They probably mean
that as an obtuse form of warning.

If your client wishes to persist with the
embedded applet, you might actually have to
toss the wizards away and write actual code
(shock, horror).

It occurs that that in itself will make this
project more expensive, while applets make
for a higher maintenance cost generally.

Ask the client if it is worth 10%* more cost -
to embed the applet.

* It will probably end up being larger than
10%, that figure is just a WAG.
