Details

I submitted this bug earlier last week. I cannot find it now. Anyway, I use code the check version and if java is enabled and it does not work in mozilla. To highlight this: The below code returns false even when java is enabled and working in mozilla. <html> <Script language="javascript"> document.write (navigator.javaEnabled() + "---" + navigator.appVersion); </script> </html> It works on both netscape and IE.
The bug you submitted last week was #34993. It's a dupe of #24811, marked fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 24811 ***

This was fixed in M15 and I saw it work. However, this is not working in any of the nightly builds. The applets run, though.

confirming to make sure it doesnt get lost

I checked in M16 milestone release. This change appears to be lost. (NT4 M16)
Sorry for the delay - taking over QA for the JavaScript Engine group - The appropriate component for this bug seems to be OJI (see duplicate bug 24811). Reassigning to owner of OJI for disposition -

35335 is a duplicate of the bug 24811. The bug was fixed in M15. It has not worked on any version since, at least for me. I see that you marked this and bug 24811 as resolved/fixed. But it is not. The fix appears to be lost.
I have confirmed Shankar's findings that indeed this bug still exists, despite numerous references in the bug report notes about it being fixed previously. I've tested with NN 6 PR1 and M17 on NT and Win98 and both continue to return False for navigator.JavaEnabled regardless of its real setting. A number of others have also reported this bug to us. My concern is that several new reports of this have been marked as dups of an original, but that original has been marked as fixed when clearly it is not. Can someone please confirm that this issue has been reopened and will be addressed? Thanks.
Yes, this bug *should* be fixed now. Copying two people (Raju and Jeff) who could verify it. Netscape QA should also be able to verify with current commercial builds that include the most recent Java Plug-In drop that's for Preview Release 2. Will await confirmation.
Tried on WinNT with latest nightly (aug 2nd). It returns 'true' Disabled Java (from Preferences). Tried again. this time it returns false. Enabled it back It returned true ITs working.
Tried the same on Win98 (with Aug 2nd nightly build) this however returns false when java is enabled.
Confirmed, it works on WINNT with a MOZ_DEBUG=1 build from mozilla source from Tuesday 1 August 2000 and Java Plugin source from Tuesday 25 July. If this doesn't work on WIN98, it's likely an XPCOM problem. Ed
