Hi,


  I have an applet idea but have trouble to implement it.
The idea is to have a little icon bouncing on a web page.  Someething
similar to the bouncing head from the demo.  But instead of bouncing in
a frame,  I would like to have it bouncing on a web page.

	I am stuck at a point that I do not know how to keep track of the 
image of a web page.  

  If I want an applet floating on an image (say a gif), that's easy.  All 
I have to do is to repaint the exposed part of the image.  However, a web
page can have multiple images and text, that makes things complicated.

  I was thinking about passing the target web page as a param of an applet.
Then draw an offscreen image of that web page....  But then I need to process
the html page myself.  I don't think it is a good solution unless there is
an API can do the job.

    
  Any good suggestion?

Cheers,
Edith
