Inserting Applets (plugin 1.3.1)
I've inserted my applet into HTML via HTMLConverter 1.3.
The Applet works fine both in MSIE 5.5 and NN 6.0 (according to console output).
The problem is, that I can't see applet's methods in Netscape. It says, that document.embeds["myapplet"] has no properties, or the method I call doesn't exist.
When I insert the applet with <APPLET>, it works in Netscape, but doesn't in MSIE.
Is this caused by the plug-in 1.3.1? Or is it Netscape's fault?

Do your converted tags (embed and object) contain a name or ID element that would be used by the javascript (document) to identify the applet?
I do not yet know a way around this, but I noticed that the conversion using the plugin does not include the NAME= element of the plugin tag.
If you have this problem and have figured it out, please let me know.

NN6 gives the following values:
document.getElementById("Test001") = "[object HTMLObjectElement]"
document.Test001 = "[object HTMLEmbedElement]"
document.embeds["Test001"] = "[object HTMLEmbedElement]"
but the method call:
> document.embeds["Test001"].parseFile(...);
doesn't recognize as a function:
> document.embeds["Test001"].parseFile is not a function

If you want to try it, download these files, and store them all in one folder.
