Hi all, many thanks for all the responses to my previous questions on the List. I have more or less a trivial question; hope someone could help. I am using JSP with JWSDK as a development tool. THe JSP file contains 2 applets' gui objects and HTML form elements all mixed together. I am trying to pass a value from one textfield of the first applet to the textfield of the second (applet1 to applet2). In the Java code of applet2 and in an ActionPerformed method I created an cast object of applet2 using the getAppletContext/getApplet. I am getting a NullPointerException error during runtime and I determined the source of the error by catching it in the code. Basically I am passing the wrong string argument to the getApplet method which can not find and therefore can not return an object of type applet2. I looked at the HTML source and found a translation to the <jsp:plugin tag I used to place both applets on the same page. Translation includes an Object Tag but missing the NAME ATTRIBUTE! [[[[I don't know enough how the engine is translating the <jsp:plugin tag even though I had specified the applet name attribute in the jsp tag]]] Thanks for your advice in advance! =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
