Hi all,
We have a web application, and one of its pages contain two applets.
The first one has no UI, and expose methods to manipulate bi-directonal
text (Hebrew and Arabic).

The other applet displays text it retrieves from the server, and allow
the user to select lines from this text. This applet also expose
methods to retrieve or reset the user selection, and to do some other
stuff, such as changing the font size, or the data it retrieves from
the server.

Sometimes, when users use this web application on Mozilla or Firefox on
Linux, they get a JavaScript error when the JavaScript code of the page
tries to call methods of the second applet.

Using Firefox's JavaScript debugger, I checked and saw that the
document.applets array contain two elements, but while in the first
BiDi applet element we can see all the public methods defined in the
applet code, we don't see any of the public methods of the second
applet in its list of properties in the debugger watch window. This is
probably the reason for the JavaScript error we are getting.

This only happen sometimes on Linux, and never on Windows - not on
Internet Explorer, and not on Mozilla for Windows.

Does anyone have any idea why this might happen, and how it can be
avoided?

The problem happens on a customer site, who has Sun's JVM 1.4.02
installed on the browser's Linux machine.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
