This page has a html menu. It does not display with Mozilla M11. I can see with
IE5 and NS4.7

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Load Mozilla and go to www.mbasystems.com.ar

2) Load NS Communicator and go to www.mbasystems.com.ar

3) Netscape show a Menu: "Home, Nuestra Compañia, Servicios Bancarios, Folio,
Atención al Cliente and Consultoria". Mozilla does not display it.

This page has Java on it.
I think you need to do something to turn java on.

I send you an image from my Mozilla (1999111909) and the Advanced Preference
Windows. I have Java 1.2.2 standard edition installed.

I have a couple of questions:

1) Can you see any other pages that have Java applets on them?

2) Have you tried this page using the most recent JDK? (JDK 1.3 Beta).  The JDK
1.2 and recent Mozilla builds no longer play well together; Mozilla API changes
broke compatibility with JDK 1.2.X, so you will need to upgrade to JDK 1.3 Beta
in order to have Java working with more recent Mozilla builds.

Any answers you can provide to these questions will be a great help.

hi!

1) Can you see any other pages that have Java applets on them?
No. I try www.javasoft.com and I can not see any applet.

2) Have you tried this page using the most recent JDK? (JDK 1.3 Beta).  The JDK
1.2 and recent Mozilla builds no longer play well together; Mozilla API changes
broke compatibility with JDK 1.2.X, so you will need to upgrade to JDK 1.3 Beta
in order to have Java working with more recent Mozilla builds.

No. I can not to upgrade JDK yet.
Will Mozilla need to install JDK 1.3 to work?

Resetting QA contact.

Leila, can you see if this is reproducible with JDK 1.3?  If it's reproducible
with the latest VM/Plug-In, then I'll accept the bug.  If not, then the solution
is to upgrade the JDK to work with the latest Mozilla changes.

Using my build 12/06/99 of Mozilla and jdk1.3 build "P" on WinNT, this bug is
reproduceable. On Netscape, an imagemap applet shows this menu
"Home, Nuestra Compañia, Servicios Bancarios, Folio, Atención al Cliente and
Consultoria". On Mozilla, the applet isn't loaded and throws NPE as shown below.
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at java.util.StringTokenizer.<init>(StringTokenizer.java:126)
	at java.util.StringTokenizer.<init>(StringTokenizer.java:142)
	at joybutton.init(joybutton.java)
	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:348)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:488)

Hey, it worked for me.  At first, I could not get the applet working with
Mozilla and the JDK 1.3 latest internal build.  I then tried using Netscape
Communicator 4.6 on Win32.  The Java VM there didn't like this site, either.
So, I launched Internet Explorer 5.0, which launched the applet just fine.  It
could be that the applet is not using very good Java code.

In any case, when I launched with my recent Mozilla build (Build ID 1999082316),
I ran into a SecurityException.  So, I launched the JDK "policytool" program,
temporarily granted all codebases the permission "java.security.AllPermission",
then saved that policy file as C:\WINDOWS\.java.policy and quit the policytool
application.  When I re-started Mozilla and re-visited the site, the applet
showed up just fine, and when I clicked on the applet, I was prompted for a
username and password, just as when I visited the web site with Internet
Explorer.

I am therefore closing this bug out as "WORKSFORME".  Dear user, please try
changing your Java security policy settings using "policytool".  If I am using a
different version of JDK 1.3 than you or the QA people here, then I could be at
fault.  But in any case, Netscape Communicator 4.61 did not like this site, so
I'm somewhat doubtful about the Java code there anyway.

Thanks a lot!

We'll tell to own Site Designer to fix the problem!
