Hi Folks,
I'm having some issues with my java script plugin in the midori web browser. I've tried installing both the icedtea and sun-jre-bin plugins following the instructions at the gentoo java wiki:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/java.xml
When I select one of them, midori detects it in its preferences->extensions list. For example, when I eselect icedtea, that option appears in midori's list of plugins. But, its icon is a broken icon, and indeed even when I select that option from the list I can't load pages with java script in them. Any ideas?

Okay, I'm going to mark this one SOLVED. It turns out that my 'does it work' test was confounded by many websites discriminating against less commonly used browsers, and that when I changed a setting in midori that allows it to pretend to be a different browser (firefox, in my case), most of the issues disappeared. Unfortunately, the one website that I really need to access still isn't working, but, although that is a javascript site, I'm starting to suspect that the problem may be unrelated.
For future readers, I followed the instructions on the gentoo java guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/java.xml) to install the sun java plugin. I am certain that there were at least some issues with the icetea plugin because the javascript test site (http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp) suddenly started working when I switched to the sun plugin.
Also, I had previously tried the sun plugin unsuccessfully; since then I've recompiled with all of the use flags enabled (X alsa jce nsplugin pax_kernel). They are not all enabled by default, and I am not sure which, if any, made a difference.
I'm using a 64bit multilib system, so I also have the 32bit emulator installed (emul-linux-x86-java-1.6); I am not sure that that matter. |

Hi,
Java is not javascript.
I still got what you are saying and I would use oracle-jre-bin instead of sun-jre-bin |
