Applet to browser dynamic JavaScript

[Qu0ll]

Perhaps slightly OT... is it possible for a Java applet to invoke the
surrounding browser's JavaScript engine to execute a dynamically generated
script? That is, not by using something like Rhino but just the browser's
ability to run scripts itself?

function executeJSCode(codeToExecute){
if (document &&
document.createElement &&
document.appendChild &&
document.getElementsByTagName)
{
var newScript = document.createElement('script');
newScript.type = "text/javascript";
newScript.text = codeToExecute;
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(newScript);
}
}

Thanks very much Randy.

Then you simply have to figure out how to get the Java applet to call
executeJSCode and pass it the string of script you want executed.

The Java part I can handle. It's just the JavaScript itself I wasn't sure
of or if it could be done.
