title: Trouble calling an applet method from page
body: <p>I know it's not optimal, but I have to work with it, a page making calls to the applet.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is, when I do so, I recieve a rather cryptic error message:</p>
  
  <p><em>"uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject!</em></p>
  
  <p><em>[plugin exception: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException]."</em></p>
  
  <p>Can anyone decode this?  Even multiple possibilities would be better than the junk I came up with. The basic call to the applet is from a javascript call:</p>
  
  <pre><code>document.getElementById('my_applet').passData("pass some data", someOtherData);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see, the passData method is the exposed method I am trying to use.  The applet itself works fine on the page, it's just when I try to call this, it doesn't do anything except throw that error.</p>
  
  <p>If I ask the person working on the applet (it's not my portion) is it possible for them to add constructive error throwing or am I not even at the point of connecting to the applet yet?</p>
