Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P1)

Description

[Peter]

The accept license button at the bottom doesn´t work in NS6.
Is the JSDebugger obsolete?

Comment 1

[Fabian Guisset]

What happens when you click on it? I see a dialog "You must enable Java to use
jsDebugger", so I guess the button is doing something for me.
What build are you using? Are you reporting this only against Netscpae 6? If
yes, can you (or anyone else) reproduce this on Mozilla?
Thank you,
Fabian.

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

yes, do you have java working in ns6? If yes, then this is prehaps a oji issue.

Comment 3

[Peter]

Yes I do have java enabled but haven´t tested in mozilla but probably will,
using milestone18.

Comment 4

[Peter]

No,
Mozilla M18 responds just as little as NS6.
I´m running on os: NT4.

Comment 5

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

what I meant was, do you have java installed (not turned on), ie, can you view
java applets with ns6/m18?

Comment 6

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

this page also fails to load in IE 5.5.  I guess it's something netscape proprietary

not sure about this site, does smartupdate work in mozilla or is this a ns4 thing?

Comment 10

[TarisHou]

This also happens on N6.1 PR1.

The offending function is:

function getJSDebug (fName) { 

    if ( navigator.javaEnabled() ) { 
         trigger = netscape.softupdate.Trigger; 
         if ( trigger.UpdateEnabled() ) 
              trigger.StartSoftwareUpdate (fName, trigger.DEFAULT_MODE); 
        else 
              alert("You must enable SmartUpdate before downloading the
JavaScript debugger."); 
        } 
   else 
        alert("You must enable Java before downloading the JavaScript debugger."); 
} 

The problems is that netscape.softupdate.Trigger is not defined.

cc'ing Aruner for some help.

DevEdge contains a great deal of Navigator 4 only content. The site is being
redesigned to handle this in the future but for the time being specific problems
related to Mozilla/NS6 support will not be fixed. Marking WONTFIX
