Javascript -> Applet communication

decoy@system102.com

Hi all,
Does anyone know whether it's possible for Java (signed) applets to
call javascript functions and for javascript to call public methods in
the applet code. I know that the latter is possible, but how do you
send parameters to Java (since the types are different). E.g I have a
public method on the applet called setValue(String val) and I want to
call it from within my javascript.

I'd rather do it without 3rd party libraries ( for free :) if possible.

Many thanks for the help.

Stu.

Sure. Check Real's HowTo* for lots of examples of applet/JS
and JS/applet interaction.
