Numerology auto-counter

Notes: This is my second Java applet. It was written on request, based on the 100words auto-counter.

This applet determines the numerological value of text based on a straightforward formula. First, the value of individual letters is determined based on their ordinal value: A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on. When this value is greater than 9, the sum of its digits is taken. Hence, J=1 (1+0), K=2 (1+1), and so on. Numerals are treated at face value (1=1, etc.). The most important value is the total value, in the lower right corner -- that's the total of all the characters in the text, reduced to a single digit. However, for the sake of interest, the applet also displays the per letter values (the large window) and the per word values (the lower left corner). For the sake of this applet, all characters which aren't one of the 26 letters or 10 numerals are treated as spaces. Upper and lower case return the same values.

Type only in the upper window. As you type, the other windows will be updated accordingly (typing in the other areas won't cause an error, it just won't do anything).
