RE: Simple syntax for applet insertion: still not quite there

I still don’t have a response.  I put in some prints, and the ones in the java don’t come out on the page.  I list my applet tag, my _javascript_ call, and my most recent java code below, and the only traces I get back are those at the _javascript_ level:

 

<applet code='PauseHack.class' codebase='' name='pausehackhandle'></applet>

 

_javascript_:

 

      document.writeln("<h1>trace pauseHack 1, " + numberMillis + ", </h1>");

      document.pausehackhandle.sleep(numberMillis);

      document.writeln("<h1>trace pauseHack 2</h1>");

 

Java:

 

// PauseHack.java

 

import java.applet.Applet;

import java.awt.*;

import java.io.PrintStream;

 

public class PauseHack extends Applet implements Runnable {

 

//Thread runner;

public void init() {}

public void sleep(int milliseconds) {

  System.out.println("<h1>PauseHack class trace 0</h1>");

  try {

    Thread.currentThread().sleep(milliseconds);

  } catch (InterruptedException iex) {

    iex.printStackTrace();

  }

  System.out.println("<h1>PauseHack class trace 9</h1>");

//  runner = new Thread(this);

//  runner.start();

  }

 

public void run() {

    while (true) {

      try {

        Thread.currentThread().sleep(500);

      } catch (InterruptedException iex) { iex.printStackTrace(); }

    }

  }

}

 

// end of PauseHack.java

 

Perhaps I should also say here that the page status in Safari written on the lower left silver margin bar says the PauseHack applet was loaded.  At this point I’m guessing there’s still some need in the applet tag or I’m just stating the handle badly.  Thanks of course for any feedback.

 

Sincerely, Xeno
