Works for me. I'm using Safari on a Mac if it matters.
That does matter. I'm using IE7 on Windows XP, and it doesn't work, probably because Windows doesn't cooperate that closely with Java. To install Mesquite http://mesquiteproject.org on another computer, I had to burrow through the website of Sun Microsystems, hunt down the latest version of Java, and install it -- all for free, but it took a long time all together. Looks like I have to repeat this exercise.
Here's what the Java console says: -----------------------------------
