Applet not getting refreshed after restart

I have java application in which applets are used. This application is meant to work on IE6 and JRE1.4 but now with upgrades available applets used in application is giving problem.
ISSUE: i click on a button in my application to view an image, then the applet opens and i see the image. I close the applet and click on button to view another image but previous image comes up in the applet. The JRE loading image which comes up on applet start doesn't come the second time. If i wait for a min or two i can see JRE icon disappear from the taskbar tray and then if i view my second image it shows the correct one. Can anyone tell me how can i make applet reload itself after i close the applet window???

How do you close an Applet?

by clicking on the close button at the top

I've never seen a close button on an Applet. Can you post a screenshot, and relevant code -- in the form of an SSCCE <- link

The loading screen is displayed when the applet is being loaded for the first time.

Tale a look at the applet's life cycle methods: init(), start(), destroy()

code works fine in jre1.4 but goes for toss in jre1.6... do i need to make any changes in methods: init(), start(), destroy() for jre1.6???

That's not a close button of an Applet. The close button is of the Internet Explorer window.

ok thanks but any solution to my problem

Hmm. What do you mean by 'make applet reload itself'? Cannot help further without additional details like relevant code.

by reload itself i mean i want evrytime i close the browser the the applet should stop, destroy anythng it is caching and close, when i view the doc next time a java applet should start again.

<applet code="appviewer.ViewerApplet.class" archive="Library/cmbview81.jar,Library/TViewerDefaultIcons.jar,Library/appclasses.jar" width="100%" height="100%" name="ViewApplet">
<c:forEach items="${model.listFile}" var="fileList" varStatus="loop">
<param name="imageName<c

ut value="${fileList.fileNumber}"/>"
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${fileList.isRescan == 'true'}">
value="SearchAndView/rescan/<%=session.getId()%>/<c

ut value="${fileList.fileName}"/>"
</c:when>
<c

therwise>
value="SearchAndView/<%=session.getId()%>/<c

ut value="${fileList.fileName}"/>"
</c

therwise>
</c:choose>

<param name="cache_option" value="Plugin">
<param name="cache_archive" value="Library/cmbview81.jar">
<param name="fileName<c

ut value="${fileList.fileNumber}"/>" value="<c

ut value="${fileList.fileValue}"/>">
</c:forEach>
<param name="imageCnt" value="100">
</applet>

this is the code i am using . should i make any changes here if am using IE8 and JRE1.6 as this code works fine in IE6 and JRE 1.4
