User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 This is NOT a duplicate of 164712. The symptoms are exactly the same, but since the cause is (now) different, it is apparently not apprporiate to re-open that bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit a page taht tries to control a java applet from Javascript or vice versa. For example, the sequence of test pages starting at... http://information.overlaid.com/tests Actual Results: The third test (liveconnect_in) fails. Javascript is unable to tell the Java applet to remove the "Fail" image. Expected Results: Javascript should tell the Java applet to display "OK". This is NOT a duplicate of 164712. It may have exactly the same symptoms, but that bug is FIXED and the symptoms are still there. Cmments made on THAT bug suggest that the problem is now in Apple's Java runtime, and I have filed a bug with the Apple Developers Connection; they told me it is a known problem, and closed my bug without giving me any other information (thanks, guys). BUT even if the immediate cause of the problem is with Apple's software, and so beyond the control of Mozilla developers, there should still be a Mozilla bug report A) to (formally) remind Mozilla developers to keep checking whether Apple have changed anything B) to provide a place to put information about attempts to find a work-around or get Apple to provide a fix, and C) to tell potential Java/Javascript developers definitevely that LiveConnect is known to not work Mac, so they need not waste their time on it.

Summary: LiveConnect broken on Mac OS X 10.2 → LiveConnect broken on Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3
uh ok. i'm guessing if apple closed your bug it's because it's a dupe of a known issue on their end.
So, apparently, Apple's Java 1.4.2 plugin and Safari 1.2 now support LiveConnect. We could do the same, but it would mean that we'd need to support Apple's new (and undocumented?) Cocoa plugin architecture for the Java Plugin, including new extensions for LiveConnect. I'd guess there's two roads to go down to do this: 1) Write a "wrapper" plugin which presents an OJI interface to Mozilla, and hosts Apple's Cocoa Java Plugin, 2) Extend Mozilla's plugin and OJI architecture to support the Cocoa Plugin API.

Is this a dupe of bug #163468, or are these different issues?
I think I am running up against this bug when trying to use hushmail.com. They claim that only Safari (and that only recently) works with their site : from <https://www.hushmail.com/help.php?PHPSESSID=2fb01e086d3db218870876201e60c4c7&subloc=faqs#compatibility> " browsers Internet Explorer Mozilla Netscape Opera Safari version 5.0+ 1.1+ 7.0+* 4.7x** 6.0+ 1.2+ Windows MSVM/Sun Sun Sun NS Sun n/a Linux n/a Sun*** see Moz. NS Sun n/a Mac OS X n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a Sun " from <https://www.hushmail.com/help.php?PHPSESSID=2fb01e086d3db218870876201e60c4c7&subloc=macosx> " It is our hope that LiveConnect will be implemented in a future version of Mozilla. If you'd like to support development of the Mozilla project, please visit their donation page for more information! " Is this the same bug? I would really like to keep using Mozilla (actually, Firebird)... Max.

Depends on: osxjava1.4
*** Bug 248771 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
In case you're not following the dependency above, this is fixed by the new MRJPlugin that's available in the archive for the Java 1.4 work at bug 197813. Download from javaplugin.sourceforge.net. To just fix the LiveConnect issue, install the MRJPlugin but not the JavaEmbeddingPlugin.
