Java in JavaScript

[gargoyle47]

I want to use an HTML form incorporating JavaScript and also a Java
applet.
My idea is to have text entered in a webform, captured by the JS and
then a Java applet called with the form text as the input argument.
The applet will then manipulate the text and return a string back to
JS for additional processing before being submitted as web form mail.

I know how to invoke the applet from JS with input text:
document.myApplet.newText(tempText) // invokes method in Java class
and in the Java class:
public void newText(String s) {
this.whatToSay = s;
etc.
}

but what I don't know how to do is return a string from Java back to
the JS, i.e. how to capture the returned string using JS.

Can somebody please help?
Thanks

What happened with

var result = document.myApplet.newText(tempText);

Don't forget to change the return type of newText to String.
