When I enter this URL: https://www.servicecenter.unisys.com/customeraccess/ the
page never successfully loads or installs the Java App. Nor do I get any error
ID's or messages, just a black page. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter https://www.servicecenter.unisys.com/customeraccess/ into the URL
address bar. 
2. Watch.


Actual Results:  
I get a black screen. 

Expected Results:  
It is supposed to install a Java application, the Perigrine Ticket system
provided by Unisys.com. It's supposed to ask for security permission to install
the app, (Always, grant, deny) and then install the App. Subsequent visits to
this URL are supposed to launch the app.

Since it doesn't work in Firefox either, it's not a Camino problem.  Since it
also doesn't work in Safari, it's not a Mozilla.org problem either. 

Since it only works in IE, it's highly likely the vendor has coded the app in
such a way that it only works in IE, either by poor coding practices or
arbitrary design. You should complain to the vendor.  

(You might check with the author of the Java Embedding Plugin
<http://javaplugin.sf.net> to see if this is something he can work around, but
much like USPS postage app that is specifically hard-coded to only work with
Safari, there's likely little he can do).
