Well, since I originally posted the question, I corrected my <OBJECT>
and <APPLET> tags to include the "scriptable=true" parameter. Now for
IE I can call the Clock.reset() method whether Javascript is accessing
a plugin-based JVM or the native one. For Mozilla, things work when
the applet is loaded via the <APPLET> tag - I haven't tried the above
suggestion to see whether the method gets called when the applet is
loaded via <OBJECT> (didn't even know Mozilla knew about this tag :-)

BUT Netscape 4.7x (I tried 4.75 and 4.76) refuse to cooperate when the
applet is loaded via the <EMBED> tag. Has anyone succeeded with this?

Any info is still very much appreciated,
Tom

the java plugin for Netscape 4.7x does not support scripting from javascript
to java
with LiveConnect.
This is a limitation of the plugin architecture of the old netscape browsers.
