Hiding applets in a JSP

[blueindian1]

Howdy folks,

What I need to do is hide an applet in a JSP. I only want the applet to display when after an onClick event, and to go away on a pageUnload event. sort of like:

function displayApplet()
{
    //some code to make an applet appear
    window.onUnload="close the applet();"
}
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; onClick=&quot;displayApplet();&quot;>

The thing is, i can't figure how to hide the applet until i want it to start.

Any advice?

Thanks
