See below for the Tier3Client class.

The code gets to the "dispatcher" but barfs at
callback.apply(this,callbackArgs);

Once again all useful assistance greatly appreciated. (No, I said not you,
or you!)

Cheers Richard Maher

PS. Some side issues which I'll probably bring up again late but in case
anyone knows the answer nowr: -

Opera won't wait for the "this.chan = document.getElementById(appletId);"
when the Applet was appended with appendChild(div); Chrome works the first
time but subsequent tabs are subject to a timing condition. Safari has it's
own bollocks "no protocol on URL exception" and fails SENDing (i think)
because the codebase is not the same as the document base?
