Javascript to Swing Applet communication doesnt work!!!

It is normally possible to access public methods and attributes of an applet
from javascript but this doesnt seem to work when the applet is a Swing
JApplet.
Does  _ANYBODY_ have any idea why this is and whether or not there is a
workaround?
I have a simple test applet which I can successfully run in IE and Netscape
as either a normal applet or a Swing JApplet.
When I run it as a normal applet I can fire its public methods from
javascript.
When I convert it (and the HTML page) to run as a JApplet and try to fire
the same public method I get a javascript error (IE and Netscape) saying the
'object has no properties' as if the javascript no longer recognises it as
an applet.
Any help greatly appreciated!!
