Have you tried opening the console window ?  there should be an 'open
url: ...' message output when jalview tries to open the URL.

When I tried using a bare href string like the one above, it failed with
a 'malformedURLException'. So - the applet does not try to append the
codebase to the URL before it opens it. I've put a TODO and a quick
check for this in the jalview applet code, and this should propagate to
the latest CVS release build shortly. However, it will need testing.

Jim.
