User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

The Change button makes a call to a method (setEquation) in Java applet (in
HotEqn.jar). On a PC using Mozilla (or Firebird 0.6.1, or IE 6) the call works
as intended and the information dispayed in the applet changes. Under Mac OS X
the JavaScript Console reports "Error: document.question.setEquation is not a
function" (on Firebird 0.7 on Mac OS X also reports the same problem).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://mathsnetgcse/index.php?mode=item&ref=694
2. Click the Change button
3. Look at report in the JavaScript Console

Actual Results:  
JavaScript console reported "Error: document.question.setEquation is not a function"


Expected Results:  
Called the applet setEquation method

This is because the JRE Apple ships with OSX does not implement LiveConnect at
all....
