Good day!

I have 6 forms with different form names and with different field names. I have an applet embedded in one of the forms which gets the value of the field inside that particular form. The problem with my applet code is that its too "form specific". I want to make it generic so that I can also use it with other forms.



My plan is to place hidden properties so that I can get first the values I needed and then pass it to the applet using a generic IDs. Is this ok? Suggestions?

Thanks.

Darren

Sounds like a sensible thing to do, assuming that by "hidden properties" you mean applet <param> tags.

Thanks for your reply,

is this it?



if I will add this in the applet tag, then I can get/access their
value through this?

The problem when I do the above code is that, the applet doesn't load.
The console says, Member not found.

Applet parameters are accessed through the getParameter method in the Applet class, not through JSObjects.
