How do I call a Java applet method, like repaint(); every couple of seconds from
Any public method in an applet can be called from JavaScript, as well as any public attribute can be accessed. This is called LiveConnect: http://www.galasoft-LB.ch/myjavascript/consulting/LiveConnect102
Since repaint() is a public method of your applet, you may call it from JavaScript. Let's say your applet is named "myApplet" (a very original name), use:
This will call the repaint method every 10 seconds:
<script type="text/javascript"> function repaintApplet() { document.myApplet.repaint(); setTimeout( "repaintApplet()", 10000 ); } setTimeout( "repaintApplet()", 10000 ); </script>
