[Greasemonkey] GM & JavaScript/Applet Interaction

[Jesse Merriman]

Ah yes, that's it, thanks. In fact I read other parts of that page, but
obviously not enough of it. Pitfall #8 led me to another solution:

    var applet = unsafeWindow.document.getElementById('TestApplet');
    applet.foo();

Not sure which is worse, your hack or the use of unsafeWindow...
