hi all,

I have a web page that has 2 applets running. 1 is the sun DrawTest applet
the other is a an applet which does a bit of animation. The later uses some
elements (not sure which) of jdk 1.3.1. Thus to get both applets to display
on my page I have to use the HTMLConverter. This is where my problems begin.
I'm new to java, let alone ActiveX/COM which is what I'm told  HTMLConverter
uses to display the 1.3 applets. I have written a piece of JavaScript that
(with out the converter business) would take an image from the DrawTest
applet and pass it to the other one ( I know that the code is correct). But
with the conversion done it wont work, how do I talk through the activeX
thing. A mate (who knows his stuff) said there should be a parameter/command
such as getParameters that I could called to communicate though the activeX
thing to my java classes but as far as he could make out there were no
command/options in the plug-in (he was looking at the bean.ocx file using
some VB IDE or something like that).
any ideas what  I can do?
Sorry if this mail seems a bit rambling but like I said I'm starting to get
way out of my depth here.

i realise that my other option is to find out what element of jdk1.3.1 my
applet uses and replace them (browsers only support 1.8 or somehting i
think), but have no idea how to go about doing it, again any ideas where i
can look?


Any help is greatly appreciated

TIA

STEVEC

PS I'm not bothered about getting to work on all OS and in all browsers.
Win2000 and latest IE is fine :)
