Referencing the session applet

Manipulate the Reflection session through its API methods and properties by referencing the named session applet from your JavaScript code.

For example, a JavaScript line that displays the About box for the applet above would look like this:

var api = document.IBM3287.getAPI("JSAPI","IBM3287");
   api.showDialog( "aboutBoxDialog" );

You could also perform the same task in JavaScript using the document's applets[] property, which is an array of the applets in the document (use this technique if the applet's name contains spaces or punctuation characters):

document.applets["IBM3270Applet"].getAPI("JSAPI","IBM3270").showDialog( "aboutBoxDialog" );

If you don't name an applet, you can reference it in JavaScript by its index in the applets[] array, like this:

   // If the Reflection applet is the only one on the page, its index
   // in the applets[] array is 0.
   document.applets[0].getAPI("JSAPI","IBM3270").showDialog( "aboutBoxDialog" );
