Let's say that your applet (the class that subclasses Applet) is called ... ummm, YourApplet, and that it has a function that goes like this:

public void doDaThing(String thingToDo)
{
// here we do the thingToDo
}

You can call this function by responding to an text field action in the html page like this:

---- HTML, cut here -----
