How to keep applet's JFrame alive as browser's closed or, goes to other URL

Question

My applet has a JFrame that pops up when the applet is downloaded. Right now, if the browser goes to a different page or, if it is closed, the frame disappears.
I would like to know how to keep the frame alive.
Thanks.

These comments applies to using the Applet PlugIn.
One annoying thing about using the PlugIn is that every time you browse from your applet's page and return, it is destroyed and reinstantiated and then init'ed instead of just stop and start applied on the same applet object. One solution to maintaining state across multiple instances is to use static data. Here is an example that does this with a JFrame, since that is what the poster mentioned, although I usually just do this for the UI on the web page itself.
This doesn't keep the frame visible when off the web page, but that seems to go against basic applet behavior.
--Nax
public class Applet1 extends JApplet
{     private static JTextArea ui = new JTextArea();
     public void init()
     {     JFrame f = new JFrame("example");
          JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(ui);
          f.getContentPane().add(sp);
          f.setSize(200,200);
          f.setVisible(true);
}
