jsobject:
// new class for jsObject!!!! compile this: javac -classpath "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01\lib\plugin.jar" someApplet.java
// since jaws.jar does not exsist anymore
// in 1.4.0 to compile: javac -classpath "C:\j2sdk1.4.0_03\jre\lib\jaws.jar" someApplet.java
import netscape.javascript.*;
public class someApplet extends java.applet.Applet {
    JSObject win;
    public void init() {
         try{
             win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
                    JSObject textBoxLabel = (JSObject) win.eval("document.getElementById('lblOutputText')");
                    textBoxLabel.setMember("innerHTML", "<center><h1>Some text written by the applet</h1></center>");
        }catch(Exception e){
             e.printStackTrace();
}html page:
