Hello, I was jut wondering if using the LWJGL AppletLoader is there a way to have the Applet load in a popup frame instead of on the webpage?

yes, two ways come to mind:

1) You can have the appletloader load on the webpage, and then the LWJGL application open as an external window (just don't set a Display.setParent()).

2) You can use javascript to open a new html popup window with the desired size which then in turn just has a html file to the appletloader.

Is there a way to do #1 with Slick? (I'm not interacting with Display at all so I guess Slick is doing that?)

well if you really want a popout I don't think you really want to go for applets then, have a look at Java Web Start or GetDown. Those two tech's should provide you with exactly what you're looking for.
