Yes, this is the code I used:

$ cat Test.java 
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.net.URL;

public class Test extends Applet {
    public void changePage(String url) {
        System.err.println("Attempting to go to: " + url);
        try {
           getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(url), "_self");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

$ cat Test.html 
<HTML>
    <HEAD>
        <TITLE> NPN_GetURL Test </TITLE>
    </HEAD>

    <BODY>
        <APPLET CODE="Test.class" NAME="testapplet" WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=25></APPLET>
        <FORM NAME="test">
            <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="test" onClick="testapplet.changePage('http://www.google.ca')">
        </FORM>
    </BODY>

</HTML>

Cheers,
Deepak
