we have decided this is an issue with Safari's implementation of LiveConnect,
and apparently limited to strings (i.e., not numbers). it is not a problem
with any other browsers that I have tested, including IE6 or N7 for windows,
or Mozilla on Linux (Miguel).
fortunately the work-around, thanks to Miguel, is straightforward and fully
compatible:
when your javascript function receives parameters from your Jmol callback
(pick or message), immediately cast them to javascript strings like this:
function jmolPickCallback(id,atomstring,atomid)
{
var myid = "" + id;
var mystring = "" + atomstring;
// if you plan to use the atomid as a string, too:
// var myatomid = "" + atomid;
alert(myid " + says " + mystring);
}
the toString() method does not work, even though that is what one would
normally use here.
cheers!
