RE: Any java expert there?
Hi, I've setup new PC for family member (MS user) with SuSe8.2 and installed mozilla 1.5. She used to send ecard quite a lot but the url she used to go to doesn't want to play midi music. I've tested plugins for midi and it works just fine, I have java plugins 1.4.2 installed too. I've checked the page source and see it's java based but as I don't know anything about java I'm clueless. Below are first few line from that page, perhaps it's done the way mozilla 1.5 is not supported? Is there anything I can do besides install other browser then mozilla. Web page is http://www.all-yours.net, just in case someone would be interested to find out more why it is not working.

This is javascript not java. You don't need a plugin to execute javascript in a browser. Victor
Hi Martin, As Victor noted the snippet you provided is JavaScript. Anyway, being a new Linux enthusiast, I checked the site you mentioned with FireBird and there was no sound. I followed the plugin link to netscape which then lead to another site which has a useful page for testing plugins: http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.html I'm running 9.0 and upon searching the distro cd's I found and installed: Plugger which actually installs mozplugger into: /usr/lib/browser-plugins I then had to copy mozplugger.so into /opt/MozillaFirebird/plugins At this stage I wasn't entirely sure if it was working as I then tested the Audio/Midi link on the above mentioned to no avail and ended up also installing Timidity and Playmidi (also on the distro's) Frustrated I then clicked on the Audio/MP3 link on the test page and got some sound so I then checked back at the www.all-yours.net site and hey presto! I got to hear some jingle bells. A quick google leads to: http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/ as a place to find the mozplugger rpm. If all else fails I could send you mozplugger.so etc It would be nice if one could update FireBird with paths to other likely plugin directories. HTH.
Gregory, I've had timidity installed at the time I found out the side has some problem. When I was about to play music without actualy attaching it to the ecard it didn't work but after I put it to ecard and got to the point where I could review the whole ecard it worked. I guess it's because during selection process java script refers to 'crescendo' plugins to replay selected music which one cannot have on Linux. Anyway, thank you for the effort :).
