After add some more info in Container.java when generating this exception, now the generated exception is:
Error: uncaught exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: this method can only be called from the AWT event dispatch thread, and not from "Applet 15 LiveConnect Worker Thread" Note that to test it, the only way is using a real browser, and not appletviewer ... Let's update on this, I think it's important to have this fixed for 2.0.1, or we could give the (wring) impression that Applets and DOM interaction is not an our focus. I'd create an issue for it ... comments ? Bye
