browser object and imbedded applet

Question posted by: brickled (Guest) on March 2nd, 2007 01:35 PM

hello all,

i have used the browser objects (using vb6 and vb.net) in the past to do
many things "automatically" on the web. now i'm trying to "interact" with a
java applet on a website. I am new to java and java applets. After loading
the webpage that contains the applet into a browser object i was able to to
make simple calls to the java applet - calls such as .getcodebase and
..getparameter along with a few others.

i decompiled the java class files for this applet (the web site stores them
in a zip file on your local drive) and found that there's mountains of
functions that make up this applet. sadly though, so far i have not been
able to call the same functions when using the approach that worked with
..getcodebase and the others.

it seems that any text/code that is part of the browser window (even if it
is also part of the applet) should somehow be exposable through the browser
object. i have searched the object endlessly and so far have not been able
to find much of the data the is displayed to the screen.

i know my details are sketchy here - but hopefully there's enough here to
help you help me.

thanks in advance for everyone's help!
