Yes, my server and browser are running on the same machine (nice thing about
UNIX, I can develop stuff using a GUI called X, on the same machine as the web
server, and not worry about a GUI crash bringing down the web server :)

I may have to install Java again to see if that fixes the problem. In my case,
the only thing I did was add the CLASSPATH env. variable to my login
environment. Netscape reported to me as soon as I tried to use it that there was
already a CLASSPATH defined. I removed my CLASSPATH, but I still can't get the
example page to work.

I haven't tried Steve's mapimage.class again yet, but I did move it into one of
the paths indicated by Netscape.
