Let me make this clear ***ORACLE*** and not any browser supplier is the biggest obstacle and pulled ham-string that Applets have :-( Even the Mozilla guys (who many find Java and all plugins anathema) are so helpfull and engaging and tolerant when it comes to Applets and Java (** and iced-tea ***) that we should all be singing their praises.

Java method parameters and return values can hanle arrays even Uint8Array views over an ArrayBuffer but Call() says "no". > > -- > And loving it, > > -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) > _________________________________________________ > Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com > [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me] Cheers Richard Maher
