Is your applet on another page, or the same page? Are you
using frames?

It seems to me that it would be easiest to send the variables
to a new page via GET, parse them out with JavaScript, and
pass those JavaScript variables to the applet via its parameters.

That seems like it would work, but I've never done it. I think
your biggest obstacle will be getting the applet to read and write
files on the local machine. You might know something that I
don't, but last time I checked, applets weren't capable of this
kind of file i/o...
