60343 - After installing the netscape java plugin, applets don't display properly

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P3)

Description

[sheldon]

1) Install mozilla M18 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17 i686; en-US; m18)
   20001010
2) Go to the applet verification page
3) You are asked to install the Netscape java plugin
4) Allow this to be installed
5) Restart mozilla, return to the verification page
6) No applet is displayed in the mail browser window. A small dislog is opened,
   but it's too small to see what it displays, and it can't be enlarged.
7) Other applet pages that work under netscape show similar problems. I can
   supply other examples upon request.

[Fabian Guisset]

Reporter,
M18 is seen as "old" in the Mozilla world, and the Java plugin/API has been
changed since then. Please consider downloading the latest build of Mozilla
(http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly  then chose the latest MTrunk dir).
If you still see this behaviour, please comment further.
Thank you,
Fabian.

I installed a recent build from 2 nights ago
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001116
This fixes the Verification/Applets page: the clock now appears.

An example of a page that still doesn't work (and works under netscape) is

The fide.com applet works for me with mozilla linux trunk 2000111608 and jre
1.3.0_01.  What jre do you have (the version number is in the java console,
which is under the tools submenu of the Tasks menu)?

One thing.  It took about 10 seconds for the applet to start up for me.  so you
may want to give it a bit of time.....
