Exchange arrays between Java applets and JavaScript functions?

In a html-page I want to exchange arrays beetween JavaScript functions and Java applet functions.

I´ve tried the following code, but it returns with the script error
"No Java method matching arguments."

Here are my sample files:

JavaParameterTest.java

import java.applet.*;
public class JavaParameterTest extends Applet
{
      public JavaParameterTest()
      {
      }
      public String Test(String Ar[], int i) {
return Ar[i];
      }
}

JavaParameterTest.html:

<html>
<head>
<title>JavaParameterTest</title>
<script>
testarray = new Array("Peter","Paul","Mary");
function test() {
alert(document.JavaParameterTest.Test(testarray(),1));
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="test();">
<applet
code=JavaParameterTest.class
name=JavaParameterTest
</applet>
</body>
</html>

I there any chance to modify this code, so does it works on IE 3.0 and NS 3.0?

I would appreciate any help.

In the JavaScript you're trying to call a function testarray().
To pass an array use testarray[].

Your proposal is not the right solution, because if I change
the argument for my applet from testarray() to testarray[],
it produces a syntax error in Netscape. Sorry.

Thanks for your response. I´ve checked it and it´s true -
there is in fact no chance to exchange arrays in the ie.

Concentrating on content and not on incompatibilities
would be nice, but I don´t think it will happen.

Over and out, StephanM.
