APPLET-JAVASCRIPT Communication

[Sriram Sankar]

We have application where we need to do lots of client side validation and our client application is built completely in JAVA SWING, is there a way to execute JAVASCRIPT validation within a event triggered by an applet.
thanks,
Sriram.

Sriram,
I know that Netscape provides a JSObject class that will let your applet communicate with JavaScript on the page it is in... I personally don't know that much about it, though, so you will have to go to Netscape to look for more information on it...
HTH,

Hallo,
Its definitely possible at least with IE5 do interact applets with java script.
I have at least one example from Prof. D. Eck.
GummyGraph applet:
Here a short impression:< SCRIPT >
<!--
function getGraphPoints() {
var ct = document.graphApplet.getPointCount();
var str = "Graph has " + ct + " points.\n\n";
for (var i = 0; i < ct; i++) {
str = str + "For x = " + document.graphApplet.getX(i) + ", y = " +
document.graphApplet.getY(i) + " and dy/dx = " +
document.graphApplet.getDerivative(i) + "\n";
}
document.control.pointDisplay.value = str;
}
// -->
Contact me if you are interested in full source code and please refer to this 'reply' such that I know ... .
