Using Java in javascript fails in IE

Question

I am tring to use java.lang.String inside my javascript file. But this fails in IE.

Is there a workaround for IE.

This is what I'm trying to do.

var byteArray = (new java.lang.String("asdf")).getBytes();

I don't understand? You are aware that Java and JavaScript have nothing directly to do with each other? Are you looking for a JS alternative to this? — Pekka

That code works perfectly fine in firefox. IE creates some problem. I know Java and js are different. That doesnt prevent anyone from using java in js... — Kasturi

Unlike Firefox, Internet Explorer cannot interact with Java.

Unlike Firefox; IE doesn't have direct access to the Java libraries and it would be somewhat insane to 1.) assume Java is installed 2.) use the Java libraries within client side script.
