I am informed by a website that I have a browser that doesn't support Java and so it will not go any further with whatever it might display. This happened in Netscape and Konqureor both. Is there a plug-in I should get and use, or some kind of modification of the kernel (brrr!) of what? TIA --doug
Good Day Doug: Did you check , in Netscape and Konqureor, to see if java is enabled? In Netscape you go to edit/preferences/advance and choose enable java. In Konqureor go to settings/configure konqureor/konqueror browser and then the java tab. I hope this is of help Bob On Saturday 16 June 2001 19:43, Doug McGarrett wrote:

Modification of the kernel? No, unlike certain other OSes I could mention, browsers in this world aren't part of the OS :) Netscape has its own JVM, so all that should be needed there is to enable java in edit->preferences->advanced Konqueror needs a jvm installed. If you choose settings->configure konqueror->konqueror browser->java you can select the path to the java executable, or perhaps you just need to enable it there If neither of these work, perhaps the java detection of the site is wrong. What's the URL? regards Anders On Sunday 17 June 2001 04.43, Doug McGarrett wrote:

The Java Plug-In 1.3 for Netscape 4.x and Mozilla is available as part of J2SE 1.3.
and for those who don't read README's:
Java Plug-In install instructions: ==================================
Please remove older plug-in versions before installing the 1.3.1-FCS plug-in. E.g. remove ~/.netscape/plugins/javaplugin.so and ~/.netscape/java/.
* Netscape 4
Create a symbolic link from <Java2 SDK installation>/jre/plugin/<ARCH>/netscape4/javaplugin.so to one of the directories Netscape 4 searches for plug-ins. E.g.
% ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/netscape4/javaplugin.so \ ~/.netscape/plugins/
or
% su # become root % ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/netscape4/javaplugin.so \ /usr/lib/plugins/
Note: It has to be a symbolic link, copying javaplugin.so will NOT work
* Mozilla / Netscape 6
Create a symbolic link from <Java2 SDK installation>/jre/plugin/<ARCH>/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so to one of the directories Mozilla/Netscape 6 searches for plug-ins. E.g.
% ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so \ ~/mozilla-0.9.2/plugins/ or % su # become root % ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so \ /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
Note: It has to be a symbolic link, copying javaplugin_oji.so will NOT work
