Incase, the title didn't give it away, here is my scenario:
I have a main html window that pops up a dialog box using the showModelessDialog method. This method is only available in IEs javascript implementation. That's OK because the business all use IE.
the popped up dialog box contains an applet. Method calls happen as follows. user clicks on button -> javscript method is invoked -> javascript method calls applet method -> applet method churns (processes) -> applet method calls javascript method (to update certain fields) -> applet method exits -> user is happy.
However, the last applet call into the javascript fails in IE. is this a bug? When I use window.open instead of window.showModelessDialog, then the bug is not apparent.
Any Ideas?
Here is a test setup that will reproduce the problem:
main window:
popup window
Applet. (you will need to have netscape's plugin.jar in your classpath in order to run - this should be available in your java jre's lib folder)
