Passing parameters to an applet from a var in script

[Bob Moors]

How do you make a var or function known outside of the script?

I wrote a function that returns an int, I would like to use the function to
set a parameter of an applet.
I keep getting the error "Number Format Exception parsing N_ROWS parameter"
in the MS Java Console

Not at all? JavaScript variables and functions cannot exist out of
JavaScript context. All you can do is pass their identifier and/or
value (separately).

You do not since there is no `int' type in JavaScript. You most
certainly return a value of type `number'.

Get a reference to the applet object and do it then if the DOM of
the target UA supports it.
