Why wont my applet show on a website?

Question

ok so ive made many applets in the past, they all worked on a website, in a recent project, i wanted to see if i could make an irc like applet, so i added components to my applet using applet.getContentpane().add(component), and i added a Socket for data transfer. adding this applet to a jframe and initiating it works, and i can access the server through the framed version of the applet, but when i try and load it on a webpage, the webpage displays the java load screen then goes to a broken applet link.
whats causing my applet to not work, and are there any ways to fix this?

the java console says this: never seen this kind of error before:
