I don't believe so. Although I'm not the worlds greatest expert on
the myriad of extensions and how they might be used to cause an HTML
layout to put two elements on top of each other, the mere fact that
an Applet has a solid background color which blots out what is behind
it would prevent you from seeing the image through it...
The way to do this would be to specify the URL of the image as a
parameter of the applet and to paint it underneath the rest of
your graphics. The <IMG> tag can't do anything that you can't do
as an Applet.
