My business has a web page that uses javascript. I can't seem to make it work in Mozilla, Netscape, or Korqurer. When I boot into windows and use Internet Exployer it works fine. Anyone have a clue as to what is going on? Do I need a plugin for Javascript? Thanks for your help. Mandrake 9.0

Hi Dave!

I am not a Javascript expert, but I know that this is a common problem. I use Overlib on my web site and there are a number of different places where the code explicitely checks whether you have IE or Netscape. I worked with an overlib "guru" who helped me get it working for Konqueror, but it required a lot of hacking because sometimes Konqueror appeared to behave like IE and sometimes like Netscape. The latest version of Konqueror seems to work okay. No plug-in is needed, but you may need to tweak the code a little (or maybe a lot).

Regards,

jimmo

I don't know which distribution you are running or if you previously installed java or not. I do know that none of the major distributions come with java installed because it is not public domain.

You may acquire java for linux here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/

After you install java you must also make all the links to all the programs that use java or the programs will not be able to find it.

Be prepaired to spend some tine doing the down load. I have done it over a 56 K modem actually running about 48 K in just under 12 hours and I failed to do it tonight using someone else's T3 line in a hour and a half.

Thanks

Frank
