Working with chrome on ubuntu, have a basic java applet and javascript interaction. The javascript to java goes fine, but when I try having the java fire a javascript method, the chrome java plugin crashes. This all works fine in Fire Fox.

The Error:

    The following plug-in has crashed: icedTea NPR Web Broweser Plugin (using IcedTea6 1.9.7 (6b20-1.9.7-0ubuntu1~10.04.1))

The HTML:

    <object height='300' id='thisappletawesome' name='thisappletawesome'type='application/x-java-applet' width='550'>
        <param name='classid' value='java:JSHelloWorld.class'>
        <param name='codebase' value='/java/'>
    </object>

The Javascript:

    function updateWebPage(){
        alert("java is touching me");
        document.thisappletawesome.setText("hihihi")
    }

The Java:

    import java.applet.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import netscape.javascript.*;
    import javax.swing.*;

    public class JSHelloWorld extends JApplet {
    JTextArea txt = new JTextArea(100,100);

    public void init(){
     JSObject jso = JSObject.getWindow(this);
     try {
      jso.call("updateWebPage", new String[] {"Hihi"});
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {
           ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public JSHelloWorld() {
        txt.setText("Hello World");
        getContentPane().add(txt);
    }

    public void setText(String s)
    {
        txt.setText(s);
    }
}
