try this:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
/**
* Creates a PopUp Modal dialog box
* Creation date: (26-Nov-00 14:38:07)
* @author: RJo
*/
public class OkPopUp extends Dialog implements ActionListener
{
Button ok = new Button("OK");
Label messageLabel;
/**
* DeleteConfirmPopUp constructor comment.
*/
public OkPopUp(Frame hostFrame, String title, boolean mode, String message)
{
super(hostFrame,"PopUp Message Window", mode);

setLayout(new FlowLayout());
setTitle(title);
messageLabel = new Label( message );

add( messageLabel );
add( ok );
ok.addActionListener(this);

setBounds(50,50,300, 100);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
setVisible(false);
}
}

In your applet declare these objects:

private OkPopUp popUp;
private Frame popUpFrame = new Frame();

add this method:

/**
* This method pops up a message with an OK button
* @param message java.lang.String
*/
public void doPopUp(String message)
{
popUp = new OkPopUp(popUpFrame, "Information", true, message);
popUp.show();
}

and use like so:

doPopUp("this is an information message");

This works in jdk 1.1.6
