Applets currently only work on Windows and this works for me. Can you repro this, Beth?

I tried this on a win95 machine (HP omnibook) and installed the 2/10 build, the applet does not render. I will try on a winNT and win98 and post the results.

using 3/4 build, using apprunner. loaded the above web page and applet does not render. I also loaded our applet bft -- http://slip/projects/marvin/bft/bft_browser_applet.html and the applet does not render.

The only way to run Java in Gecko is to have an OJI plugin. We are working with Sun to provide a solution and we will provide this solution to the public in the near future. Please see: http://warp/core/plugins/qa/plugin-qa.html and http://warp/core/plugins/qa/oji-install.html will give you an idea on how to make Java work for now. The APIs are still in such flux that things are going to be working off and on for a little while. I'm marking this bug invalid.

Hmmnn..I need some understanding of the situation here...if java doesn't load because the functionality (OJI plugin solution) has not been put into place, then why is this bug invalid?

Why has this bug been marked "Netscape Confidential"? What's confidential about this stuff?

Sorry, my mistake. I'll keep this open until we stabalize.

using the 3/26, 10:55 build, and accessing the above site now works fine. However, if you go to our applet basic functional test http://slip/projects/marvin/bft/browser/bft_browser_applet.html, I got the default text asking me to please use a Java (tm) capable browser to view this page.

We just matched up the APIs and I'll be posting a link to an installer soon.

Go to http://warp/core/plugins/drops/oji/jre1_2_2-win-i.exe to get the latest OJI installer. Java should run fine with this release with seamonkey.

I downloaded the new OJI plug-in jre1_2_2-win.exe, and downloaded the new build from today and on win95 I still do not get the applet to render. So, Alex could you maybe come over to my cube and show me what the heck I'm doing wrong?

Now crashes on all platforms when trying to load http://www.the-park.com/ on build 041999.

Beth - do you still need help getting Java working?

Patrick - can you check out this URL on the Mac?

Please try the new installer at: http://warp/core/plugins/drops/oji/oji-installer.zip

I just tested this will a fresh build (4.20.99) and www.the-park.com comes up fine and loads the applet on Windows.

The applet (7am newsticker) does load on the Mac. However, there is some JavaScript code in the page that checks "navigator.javaEnabled()==true" which I'm pretty sure is hardcoded right now to be false. We obviously need to hook that up, using the nsILiveConnectManager or perhaps the nsIJVMManager. I've created bug # 5352 for this.

Andrei is testing this on Linux. If it doesn't crash for him, I'll mark this bug fixed.

Does not crash on Linux. Marking Fixed.

this was not a crasher bug, it was a rendering of applates bug -- the applets are now rendering on win95 -- which was the original problem. I'm marking this verified.
