Is that more to your liking?
If I use a html form control how can I access the contents of the HTML
control from my applet? I had a look at accessing JavaScript
functions from an
applet but that seems fraught with problems so something I want to
avoid.
Brilliant! ;-)
You need to add the plugin.jar to your classpath while developing
(Part of JRE, and not JDK)
Put the applet class files in the same directory as your html-file
on the server...
Here's the html:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function getSelected() {
return document.getElementById("names").value;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<applet code=CallbackApplet.class width="300" height="50" >
</applet>
<select id="names">
<option value="Andrew" selected="selected">Andrew</option>
<option value="Angus">Angus</option>
<option value="Dag">Dag</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
And here's the Applet code:
import java.applet.Applet;
import netscape.javascript.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class CallbackApplet extends Applet {
private Panel content = new Panel();
private Button cmdGet = new Button();
private Label lbl = new Label();
public void init() {
content.setBackground( Color.YELLOW);
this.add(content);
lbl.setText("Hello World!");
content.add(lbl);
cmdGet.setLabel("Get Combo Item");
cmdGet.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
getSelectedItem(e);
}
});
content.add(cmdGet);
this.invalidate();
}
private void getSelectedItem(ActionEvent e) {
JSObject appletOwner = JSObject.getWindow ( this );
lbl.setText(appletOwner.call ( "getSelected", null ).toString());
}
}
