Hello,

I’ve tried to invoke the public method of an applet as following:

\<applet id=“myApplet” …\>\</applet\>  
\<script\>  
var returnValue = myApplet.thePublicMethod();  
alert( returnValue );  
\</script\>

however, it seems doesn’t work??

I’m wondering if the pervious code fragment is actually the right way to invoke the desired method? If not, how to accomplish the task?

OS: Windows2000  
Browser: MSIE6  
Plug-in: Java Plug-in 1.3.1\_01 (enabled)

Thanks for any help.
