Hi All,

I am confused. Given the two codings below:
the Applet and the JavaScript, is it correct to say that
the Applet is calling the Javascript or the Javascript is
calling the Applet?

Your help is appreciated.

import java.applet.*;
import java.net.*;

public class inJava extends Applet{
  public void init(){
    String msg1 = "We will jump to an HTML tag";
    String msg2 =
  "http://www.extension.iastate.edu/gif/Balls/l_green.gif";
    try {
      getAppletContext().showDocument
        (new URL("javascript:doAlert(\"" + msg1 +"\")"));
      getAppletContext().showDocument
        (new URL("javascript:jumpTo(\"" + msg2 +"\")"));
    }
    catch (MalformedURLException me) { }
  }
}

   alert(s);
   }
function jumpTo(tag) {
   self.location=tag;
