Question: I need to communicate some data (string) from a Java Applet to an other ASP page in the same frameset. I would like to avoid a server roundtrip and do it all with JavaScript if possible.
Therefore I would like to call some javascript from a Java Applet. It looks like it is not possible without a netscape package. Is that true? Is there a simple implementation of the same functionality (source code) which I could incorporate in my applet?
Answer: Those Netscape packages are part of the current VM of both Microsoft IE 4+ and Netscape 4+. So, by adding the MAYSCRIPT tag to your Applet declaration, in the Java code you can obtain a handle to the document and call functions in it.
