Loading 2 applets on one page

[JKehoe]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to JavaScript and Applet programming and I need some advice. I have an application that loads (2) applets on the same page simultaneously. The problem I have is that one applet loads faster than the other and when the faster one is done, it requests information from the second applet. Since the second applet has not fully loaded yet, I get errors.

My question is, how do I wait until one applet has completely loaded before loading the second (faster) applet?

Thanks in advance,

Is this a JavaScript question, or a Java question?

Since the code that actually loads the applets is written in JavaScript on an .html page, I thought this was a JS question. The applets themselves (written in Java) run fine.

Anyway, I was able to fix this problem by writing a setInterval loop (in my .html file) and waiting until both applets were fully loaded until I made my applet method calls. Probably not the best way to do it, but it works. Anyone have a better suggestion?

Thanks,
