I've managed to figure out how to call applet methods from JavaScript using the Java Plug-in and the OBJECT tag in IE or the EMBED tag in Netscape.
I need to know how to do this, in IE and Netscape, without using the Java Plug-in. Actually, I know that in Netscape I can use LiveConnect and the regular APPLET tag. But I don't have a clue how to do this in IE. Could someone shed some light?
Thanks,
Dennis

You can do this in IE too, but you need to include the LiveConnect jar files in your distribution.

For the life of me, I can't get my browsers to recognize and call my applet method. Would you mind sending me or posting a snippet? Thanks in advance. -j

I can not understand what seems to be the problem.
Following is not enough to call (PUBLIC) applet method from any browser??
I am using it and working fine both in IE and Netscape!!
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Worksheet</TITLE>
<SCRIPT>
function submitRequest()
{
// MyF1 is applet and SaveWorksheet is a public method
// which takes
// String as a parameter.
document.MyF1.SaveWorksheet(document.wkshtForm.Note.value);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#cfcfcf">
<FORM NAME="wkshtForm" METHOD=GET
<APPLET CODE=WkShtApplet.class width=1000 HEIGHT=400 NAME="MyF1">
</APPLET>
<CENTER>
<B>Note: </B>
<BR>
<TEXTAREA NAME="Note" VALUE="" ROWS=5 COLS=51 WRAP=SOFT>
</TEXTAREA>
<BR>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=submit NAME="submitButton" VALUE=" SAVE " OnClick="submitRequest()"
>
<INPUT TYPE=reset NAME="cancelButon" VALUE="CANCEL" >
</CENTER>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I am so sorry; I should have written that I can't call a public method in my SWING APPLET! I have been able to call public methods in non-swing applets.
Sorry...
