    I have a program and i need to get the data from java applet into a html file. I read that it was possible to use javascript to get this info as the applet was just another object. So i made a function to return a value and a method to change value of an element in the applet.

    public void testfunc()
            {
    
                statusbar.setText("test called.");
            }
    Code (markup):

    And called it using Javascript as
    <body>
        <applet name="fileapplet" code="org.me.filechoose.FileChoose" archive="FileChoose.jar" width="400" height="400" MAYSCRIPT>
    
        <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    document.fileapplet.testfunc();
    //-->
    </script>
    Code (markup):

    Firebug shows this error:
    document.fileapplet.testfunc is not a function
    [Break on this error] document.fileapplet.testfunc(); 
    Code (markup):
