I'm using the Kavachart Java charting applets in HTML.  The first time the page
loads the Java applet is loaded and displayed correctly.  If I attempt to reload
the same page the Java applet does not reload.  It is somehow cached in its old
state even though the HTML parameters have all changed in the new page when i
view source.  I can demonstate this if you contact me.  Please do
(858-452-1471).  Name is Bill.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Place a kavachart applet on an HTML page with some parameters.
2.Display first time, displays correctly.
3.Change the parameters to the applet.
4.Refresh.
5.The applet is shown in its previous state.  It has not been reloaded and does
not reflect the new (changed) parameters.

Actual Results:  The Java applet does not reload and displays old data.

Expected Results:  Refresh should reload Java applets since they may be driven
off of HTML parameters in the page.

Confirming for edburns to have a look, because otherwise this bug is going to 
languish for another month.

Tried this scenario with a simple example.
Loaded the applet which takes a background color parameter.
After reloading, changed the HTML page to reflect a new color.
Reloaded the page. New color shows up.

Verified this on WinNT/Win98 with FCs version of JRE (1.3.0_01)
