Calling Java method from Javascript

[Neil Cherry]

I've done a fair amount of searching on this subject and I can call
my Java methods with Javascript if I use the <applet></applet> tags
but when I switch over to <object></object> tags I'm not longer able
to call my Java method, instead I get:

Error: document.CameraViewer.setInterval is not a function

How does one use the object tags and call Java methods?

Use
<object id="applet1" ...></object>
then try e.g.
var applet = document.getElementById('applet1');
if (applet && typeof applet.publicJavaMethodName != 'undefined') {
// now call method e.g.
applet.publicJavaMethodName();
}

Thanks, initially this didn't help. It turned out I had written the
<object></object> section incorrectly and ended up with an object
inside an object with the same name. I reordered it and the code
sample you provided works fine. Thanks.
