/** Simple applet which fails to get an HTMLTextAreaElement from DOM */
public class DOMDump extends java.applet.Applet
{
private HTMLTextAreaElement htae;
public void start()
{
try
{
Class c = Class.forName("com.sun.java.browser.plugin2.DOM");
Method m = c.getMethod("getDocument",
new Class[] { java.applet.Applet.class });
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument) m.invoke(null, new Object[] { this });
htae = (HTMLTextAreaElement)doc.getElementById("textareaid");
htae.setValue("This is a textarea");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("Error with Java Plug-In");
}
}
}
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the applet source given below. Then embed it in the following html document:

</form>
<applet code=DOMDump.class
archive="DOMDump.jar"
width=10 height=10
