Since Rhino calls the debugger when it detects breakpoint conditions, 
you need a way to send a notification about it to a client. It is hard 
to do in pure HTML/JS unless you want to query your server every second 
or so to check for breakpoints. It is much simple to write an applet 
that server can notify and then the applet can call some code in your HTML.
