Accessing Java Applet from JavaScript under XHTML

[humberto.bortolossi]

Greetings!

I'm trying to control Java Applets using JavaScript. However, the
standard recipes don't work under XHTML (they work well within HTML).
See, for instance, the code

http://www.professores.uff.br/hjbort...-test-01.xhtml

produces the following error message under Firefox 3.0:

document.jsap has no properties
[Break on this error]
document.jsap.setText(document.forms[0].txt1.value);

The same code within HTML works well:

http://www.professores.uff.br/hjbort...n-test-01.html

Is it really possible to control Java Applets using JavaScript under
XHTML?

Any hints are welcome!

Thanks in advance, Humberto.

My first guess would be that FF doesn't create a document.jsapp
"shortcut" under XML mode. I'm a but surprised it works at all in HTML,
but then I haven't done anything with java applets in years.

Try document.getElementById("jsap").setText(....)

/Not tested since I don't have a java plugin on this machine/

Use
document.applets.jsap.setText(document.forms[0].txt1.value);
