Can you please attach (via "create new attachment") a OS X crash log as text file ?

It seems to be a Java plug-in crash, do you crash when disabling Java ?
Do you crash on any other site with a Java applet ?
Are you running latest Java plug-in version ?

Attachment: Apple knowledge base document

This is a document from the Apple site which talks about browser
crash/stability problems. I suspect that the problem is indeed an OSX problem
as the JVM is implimented directly in the OS. I know that Netscape 4.7 had its
own built-in Java, I don't know about 7.0, but both browsers open the baby-eick
site with no problem. 
The problem may be insoluble!

I have installed an updated JVM from Apple fro OSX and the problem has been resolved. 
CLearly not a Mozilla problem, simply a Java implimentation problem in the Nac OS.
Thanks for the feedback!
