In any case, that sort of thing could be done more elegantly with the HTML5 Canvas than with Java now (whether matching the current style or using something like Venn diagrams). Applets feel clunky.
I agree that something in javascript would be better, but it may be better to stick to “simple” stuff (with divs) rather than relying on HTML5 that all browsers don’t support yet.
I don’t think those technical choices are extremely important though.
