There is a java applet on espn.com that doesn't work properly. Moreover, the 
layout of the page is all wrong. Forms run into simple text. Check it out.

Java works fine now, will work for external customers as of Beta 1.  I was not 
able to find an APPLET tag on the front ESPN page, though.  Layout looked good 
to me.  Marking this FIXED, since Java works in current Mozilla builds and will 
be in for Beta 1.

Mozilla still crashes on pages using java applets (try java.sun.com for 
starters) - this with the latest nightlies on WinNT 4 SP 6a. npjava*.* present 
in Netscape Plugins directory. Renaming them stops it from crashing. Attaching 
crash log.

ESPN.com definitely has some layout problems - filing different bug for this.

For people outside of Sun and Netscape, Java applets will still not work.  This 
is because the Sun and Netscape internal folks have a newly-patched Java Plug-In 
that will be released with Netscape's Beta 1.  My apologies for mis-leading you, 
dear bug reporter.  When the Beta 1 release is out, it will include the patched 
Java Plug-In.
