I am running RedHat 8.0 on one computer and Lindows OS 2.1 on the other.  I
installed SunMicrosystem's Java on each. I have Linux Netscape 7.0 on one PC and
the above-referenced Mozilla browser on the other.

When I type in a nickname (it can be anything) and press the "connect" button,
nothing happens on either Linux PC/Browser.

Of course, I don't have that problem on a third computer which runs Windows 98
and IE Explorer. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on web page, http://www.atvtime/chatroom.htm
2.type in a nickname.  It can be anything.
3.click "connect" button.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
It should have opened up a Chatroom, "#atvtime_friends.

Rhino is a standalone language engine. Reassigning to OJI component,
which deals with Java in the browser and applet problems. 

The site WORKSFORME using Java Plug-in 1.4.1 on WinNT, 
and Mozilla trunk build 20021204xx.

Clay:

1. Which version of the Sun Java plug-in is Mozilla using?
   (Help > About Plug-ins)

2. If it's up-to-date (1.4.x), could you try a new build
   of Mozilla and see if that works any better?

3. If that still doesn't work: are you getting any errors 
   in the Java or JavaScript Consoles pertaining to this site?

   (Be sure to clear these of errors pertaining to other sites
    before logging into this site)

I resolved the problem.

I was using java 1.3.1.02 b02.

Downloaded and installed Java 1.4.01, and the Chat Room opened.

Side comment - Installing java 1.4.01 was difficult.  I wish that java was 
installed with the browser, as it is with the Windows version of Netscape 7.0.

Thanks,

Clay D

we are redesign the integration between java and mozilla.
mozilla will be automatically linked to java as on windows.
