165101 - BBC breaking news Java applet fails to run

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 56800

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Patterson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

The breaking news ticker near the top of the page, which runs in IE, doesn't
seem to work in Mozilla. It just stays blank. I think this is the offending applet:
<applet height="50" code="lightticker2.class" codebase="/java/" width="315">

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to news.bc.co.uk
2. you may have to hit a button to that you aren't in the UK (or that you are, I
suppose, if you are.)
3. Look at the page, under the date, it should say "LATEST" in red. That is the
title of the applet. If the headlines appear, you're a lucky man.
Actual Results:  
Should have had headlines scrolling 

Expected Results:  
Had a blank area

The applet will only be shown on browsers that do not support IFRAME, Mozilla
does and thus the applet isn't shown.

Newsticker is another bug. Duping.
