Hi, I had sent out the following message the other but I did not see it posted. basically the only way I can have 2 applets on the same page communicate together is by referencing them with applet tag in the jsp file. I can not make a jsp:plugin referenced applet talk to another jsp:plugin referenced applet or an applet tage referenced applet and vice versa. I am getting nullpointer exceptions. The engine is translating the plugin tag to an object or embed tag in the resulting HTML file by checking the browser brand. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Hi all, many thanks for all the responses to my previous questions on the List. I have more or less a trivial question; hope someone could help. I am using JSP with JWSDK as a development tool. THe JSP file contains 2 applets' gui objects and HTML form elements all mixed together. I am trying to pass a value from one textfield of the first applet to the textfield of the second (applet1 to applet2). In the Java code of applet2 and in an ActionPerformed method I created an cast object of applet2 using the getAppletContext/getApplet. I am getting a NullPointerException error during runtime and I determined the source of the error by catching it in the code. Basically I am passing the wrong string argument to the getApplet method which can not find and therefore can not return an object of type applet2. I looked at the HTML source and found a translation to the <jsp:plugin tag I used to place both applets on the same page. Translation includes an Object Tag but missing the NAME ATTRIBUTE! [[[[I don't know enough how the engine is translating the <jsp:plugin tag even though I had specified the applet name attribute in the jsp tag]]] Thanks for your advice in advance! =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
