Example 13.8:
LiveConnect: Using the Java Console
[This example works with Netscape Navigator 3 and 4. It won't work with Internet Explorer 3, because that browser doesn't have a Java Console.]
This example shows how to send text to the Java Console. Select Options|Show Java Console (in Navigator 3) or Communicator|Java Console (Navigator 4) to open the console. Then type some text and click the button.
We have this in the HEAD:
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT language="Javascript">
<!--
function writeConsole(s) {
java.lang.System.out.println(s)
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
]]>
Then this form in the BODY:
<![CDATA[
<FORM name="consoleForm">
<INPUT type="text" name="message" size=32>
<INPUT type="button" value="Send text to the Console" onclick="writeConsole(this.form.message.value)">
</FORM>
]]>
