Did not work. According to the documentation JSObject.getMember
returns equivalent to javascript this.name. I tried it and it yields
null.

However, the title is not what I need. As I mentioned in the original
email, I need my applet to obtain the reference to the parent window
(the browser). I need it to feed the specific API which will register
the application with the hardware and allow me to pass the hardware
events to the applet. This API takes the top level window as a
parameter

It is easy for a standalone application - just pass JFrame to API. I
need the equivalent of this when the application runs inside the
browser.
