The applet uses JSObject to access the javascript environment of the FireFox browser and it relies on the javascript notebook code in the browser for all communications with the SAGE server: http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/jsobject.html This approach worked well for eliminating the need for the applet to log into the SAGE server and it automatically sets it inside the context of an opened worksheet. JSObject also enables the applet to do things with the worksheet like bind a text area to a cell for enhanced editing capabilities (like syntax highlighting, search and replace, etc.). It can also inject javascript code into the browser as needed. On the javascript side, it can call the applet's public methods. > We should really really have a collection of simple example java applets that > communicate with a sage server, to explain how that can be done. As soon as we come up with a solid applet communications technique, I can help with this.
