I've some questions about "A method for providing a web page having an embedded menu to a web browser and for displaying the web page to a user of the web browser are provided." The original text: A request for a web page is received from a web browser In response to the request, a web page and an applet associated with the web page are packaged for transmission to the web browser. The web page and the applet are then transmitted to and downloaded by the web browser. When the web page is displayed and the applet is executed by the web browser, the applet creates and manages an embedded menu in the displayed web page under control of the applet . This embedded menu provides a user of the web browser with a plurality of links through one action in the displayed web page An applet? Does Salesforce use an applet to draw its menus? (that's so '90s). Is the patent valid if Salesforces does its menus only with HTML? ADDED: May Flash be considered as an applet?
