Hi Daniel,

Thanks as always for your replies.

It certainly helped a couple of years ago (with FireFox 2.n or 3.0?) when 
you first showed me your cunning solution. That was my first (well probably 
about 5th as is happens) port of call.

You may not recall, but that's when I first introduced the JS 
"Tier3Client.launder" function that just took a JSObject a a parameter and 
returned the same JSObject which was automagically fixed/rinsed. This worked 
well back in the day but now FF, IE, Chrome, and Opera (and JSObject) all 
seemed to have moved on and the "fix" was looking redundant - until Safari 
and its insistence on the "First Generation plug-in" :-(

The problem is my solution is not working with Safari and I think Safari has 
other issues. I used to getMember("Tier3Client") on the applet window and 
then call my "launder" on that. If you look at the code I posted just before 
you'll see that I was trying to be "clever" and use an anonymous JS function 
to return a launder function. As this could well have been an issue, I 
reverted to the tried and tested method but still no joy.

Anyway, I'll give your code/solution a go shortly but I'm not hopeful given 
that I can't even get a simple appletWindow.call("topLevelFunction", args) 
to do other than return "null". Without arguments is not a problem.

So in the meantime if anyone knows of an example JSObject.call("sayHello", 
WITHargs) that works in Safari can they please provide a pointer?

PS. NO *NOT bloody EVAL* - call, Call, CALL()!
