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.

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 :

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.

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.
