Hi there,
I'm facing this problem, too. So I asked around some weeks ago and was guided to
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/examples/livewire/liveconnect_js_java.htm
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/jsobject.html
This liveconnect thing seems to manage what you want -calling methods in some applet-
but
using JavaScript. Unfortunately it's not standard and only works for Netscape, as far
as I could see.
It would be great if someone could evaluate this for the mailing list, because
currenlty I
definitly lack the time for doing it myself.
Cheers,
Karsten
