Ok so I can make this work as an admin message with 'object' and 'params' set to 'enabled with params' and outputfilter set to 'internal output filter' if I properly double quote all the params.
Code
applet code="www.laxref.com/files/countdown/CountDown.class" width="500" height="30" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Countdown apple">
<param name="date" value="1 Jan 2009">
<param name="bgcolor" value="000000">
Your browser doesn't support Java applets.
/applet>
However I still think putting it in the template is a better sollution.
That all being said, the applet errors out. As far as I can tell it's because there is no file to be read at laxref.com/files/countdown/CountDown.class. You must change this to point at the actual file, where ever you may have it.
Edited because <applet is not allowed even within code tags.

Hey everyone:
Thanks for your help on this! Okay, I got an applet to work locally on my machine, and I tested it out - it worked no problem when referenced in the following fashion:
http://www.laxref.com/files/countdown/test.html
Now here's how I reference it from the Administrator message:
I've been playing around with the codebase directory, and I thought that maybe using an absolute path might fix things, but this didn't seem to work either. I have Safe HTML set, and and set to allow for attributes.
Thanks again to anyone who can help me!

Like Topiatic said, If, you double quote the param values like for example:
Quote
param name="year" value="2008"
Also check to make sure you have the path to the class file correct, like which folder is it in relative to your PN root folder.

Oh MAN! That's all it was - the double quotes! I feel stupid and vindicated at the same time. As is typical on a Friday, Occam's Razor solves all IT-related issues with ease.
Thanks so much for thinking outside the box on this one, and for everyone's patience - I REALLY appreciate it!
