184950 - Java "actionbar" not functional in Mozilla family of browsers.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Edward Kleinbard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

The homepage of www.photo.net (for example) has an "actionbar" at the top that
lists much of the site's content as dropdown menus when the cursor moves over
it. It is invisible in all the Mozilla family of browsers for OS X, including
Chimera 0.6 and Mozilla 1.2.1, but is visible and functional in IE, Opera 6.0
and OmniWeb for OS X.

The same issue prevents me from using Notes Webmail 5.0 for remote access to my
office email. If it's helpful, I get the following error message where the
"actionbar" should be:

java.lang.ClassFormatError:lotus/notes/apps/actionbar/ActionBar(Bad Magic Number)

(Interestingly, I have no problems with this 'actionbar' in Lotus Webmail when 
using OmniWeb and the advanced features set to 'spoof' IE, but the problem
reappears when I change  the preferences to 'spoof' any Netscape-type product.)

I apologize if this is the same issue as Bug #163468 -- I don't have any
technical background, and so can't figure out what the bug description is saying.

Many thanks for your consideration, and for the great collaborative effort!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.photo.net and look for the gray actionbar at the top of the page!
2. Stop looking,  you won't find it.
3.

Actual Results:  
It's invisible

Expected Results:  
It should have shown the actionbar!

not a crash issue. Important to me, because it means I can't use Mozilla as my
default browser. Unclear how  many sites are affected.

Thanks again. Sorry not to be more technically savvy.

This is an issue with the site. As far as I can see, it has JS that never
initializes the "isNN" variable (to say that it's running in Netscape). Btw,
it's not Java, but DHTML that's used to do the menu.
