I have been struggling with this very problem for too long now. I need to call a signed applet to perform functions on the user's machine not allowed via JavaScript. The statement, "This does not always work." encourages me that its not just me. However, has anyone looked into this problem? Is there a way to get JavaScript to reliably call Java applet functions? Is my project in need of significant redesign? Inquiring programmers want to know!
