How to call JS from applet (Re: [Javascript] Help required.)

Wed May 15 10:00:00 CDT 2002

Have the onload event call a settimeout() function that keeps checking
whether the applets collection has members every second or so.

function checkApplets(){
	if(document.applets.length > 0){
		...code to execute...
	}else{
		checkLoading();
	}
}

function checkLoading(){
	var timer = settimeout(checkApplets(), 2000)
}

<body onload="checkLoading();">

I changed the subject line to hopefully increase response to this.

This is a good question, I have not been able to figure out how to have a
JavaScript be called AFTER a particular Java applet is _fully_ downloaded.
Suprisingly, using the onLoad to call the JavaScript in question in the
<BODY> does not work, and apparently onLoad in the <APPLET> doesn't work
either. The applet takes varying times to fully download, the onLoad in the
<BODY> seems to ignore the applet, as long as the rest of the web page is
loaded it considers the page loaded enough to trigger the onLoad.

Murugan: posting your code in question (not as an attachment, the list is
not set up to easily take attachments because of too many viruses), will
help people answer your question.
