I've been digging into the Javascript. Seems that when the applet calls
back to 'setStatusIcon', the array passed as the 'args' parameter is
empty. - ie. a string array of length 0. this causes the rest of the
code to fail. Maybe this gives you something to go at.

As a work-around, I've experiemented with re-impelenting setStatusIcon
to ignore it's parameter, and instead call
WebSampConnector.getApplet().isConnectedToHub() tp determine the
connection status - however, this just seems to hang - I think I'm
getting a deadlock here, caused by calling back into the applet whilst
in a callback from the applet.

hope this helps.

1.5rc2 applet fails to launch when running in Safari

Bug description:
I've integrated WebSampConnector with my website (http://astrogrid.roe.ac.uk/ravioli/). I'm using the latest 1.5rc2 version (as the documentation seems to be referring to this).

After unzipping the distro, if I open the 'demo.html' from from disk with firefox, then the demo works find, and I can connect to a hub.

However, if I do the same with Safari, the demo fails. In particular, the 'applet launch' dialogue does not appear. But, if I do the same with the 1.5 distro(downloaded from the voparis website, not launchpad), this launches the applet and connects to the hub fine.
