How can an Applet call a method in a different frame (from the same web site)?
Given an Applet in one frame in a multi-frame web application where all frames are loaded from the same web server, how can that Applet invoke JavaScript methods in other frames?  I tried something like this:

    jsobject.call("parent.otherFrame.methodToCall", new String[] {"argument"});

and I get a complaint that the function does not exist.  However, if I invoke it like this:

    jsobject.eval("parent.otherFrame.methodToCall('argument')");

then it works.  I'm trying to avoid use of `eval`.  Is calling code via `call` in a different frame from an Applet something that is likely to have different behavior in each browser and JVM combination?  Is `eval` safer as it is evaluated in the JavaScript engine rather than partly on the Applet side?
