applet issue fixed - 05:10 PM
yay! 
.. i fixed the problem with the pop-up window for the web cam! i played around a bit & discovered that the pop-up window would only cause my computer to crash when it was open at the same time as the main web cam page. now the java applet in the main web cam page is exactly the same as the one in the pop-up window & the pop-up window would be fine when run on it's own, so i knew it couldn't be an error in the coding. it got me thinking then, that perhaps the java applet didn't like to run two instances of the same code at the same time. so i put the pop-up window & a copy of all the associated files for the applet into it's own directory. it means that it's still running at the same time, but each window is running it's own copy of the applet rather than sharing the one applet. it fixed it! i'm more cleverer than i thunk i is! 
seriously though, i'm just glad to have fixed it. i didn't want my site to be causing people's computers to be crashing all the time. that would be a very bad thing.
