java version applet

System

I am trying to add a menu option from teamsite that can be accessed by clicking on the "Actions" pulldown which will simply load up a webpage that calls an applet that will inform the user with what version of Java he/she has on their computer. I have edited the ui_custom.xml file and rebuilt teamsite and the actual button does appear under the "Actions" pulldown. It also loads up a webpage that calls the applet but I get a message saying Applet Failed to load. However if i just put the exact path to the file where it is on the server the applet loads correctly so by this I do know that there is not a problem with my java version or the code ( hopefully ).

I have also tried to put the absolute path to the java applet but that does not seem to work.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
