Calling java applet methods in IE5

[bowmancp]

Hi,
I am having a problem calling java applet methods in IE5. The application I am working on uses an applet to create a URL. This is called by a button:

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;BUTTON&quot; VALUE=&quot;Select Editions&quot; NAME ONCLICK=&quot;SubmitClick();&quot;>

The applet is declared as :

<APPLET CODE=&quot;SearchDialogQT.class&quot; CODEBASE=&quot;../../../Java&quot; WIDTH=&quot;367&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;106&quot; NAME=&quot;javaSearchDialog&quot;>

The javascript function code is:

function SubmitClick() {
var sResultLink = &quot;Error&quot;;
sResultLink = self.document.javaSearchDialog.ExternSubmitAdvanceSearch(sSearchMode);
self.location = sResultLink;

return false
}

When I use this page in NS4 everything works fine. When I use it in IE5 the submit button does not appear to work. I think this may be a DOM problem. How do I correctly access this java method in IE5. I have tried document.all, and document.applet, followed by the applet name, but it doesnt work.

I am working on a Mac, so both browsers are Mac versions.

Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Thanx,

Chris
