Accessing controls within a java applet from the browser

[Shailesh]

Hi,

I am building an applicaiton that would track all user activity in the
browser. This would include mouse movement, keyboard strokes, links
clicked etc. I had thought of doing this using DOM properties and
methods of various HTML elements. But I found that the controls
within a java applet, like buttons and edit boxes, do not map to the
DOM tree, though the applet itself is accesible thru' DOM. So, I
thought of using the Windows Hook Library to hook to the browser
window and access the events on the controls within a java applet.
Can somebody tell me if this is the right way to do it and does it
work. I am worried about applets that use AWT. Is there any other
way of doing this.

Thanks in advance.
Shailesh.
