java and 3rd party browsers


Question

Hi

ever since I first tried IE alternative browsers, I have had problems with java, the issue was I was using msjava fine in IE and MYIE2 but my alternative browser didnt accept msjava so I installed the sun version, now I noticed java apps dont work so well in the other browser's so I tried to use java in IE again and it doesnt work, IE just says java is not installed. Now if I uninstall sun java there is still no java its as if msjava has vanished, is there anywhere I can redownload msjava or is it gone completely? or is there a way to get sun java to work in IE?

the other browsers I have been trying are firefox and opera7.

yes its enabled in the IE options.

mxxcon the original java was msjava with XP SP1 not SP1a, then I installed the latest sun java to get java working in the other browser's at this point java was broken in IE and MYIE2 (based on IE) I then decided I wanted to use java in IE again becase java implementation in the other browsers is poor but I cant get it to work it is simply broken and IE wont detect a java installation, it pops up a window to download java component, I click yes then the page that loads says java is installed but the applets dont work. the MS page points to sun java so it seems MS have removed msjava for download which is a shame.

I'm pointing out that of course MS Java is going to work perfectly with MS products, and its a bit naive to hope that MS is going to go out of their way to make their implementation of Java play nice with third party applications, nor would they want their applications to play nice with third party implementations of Java.

Please tell me you didn't believe that Microsoft was the only place to download the VM installer...? Do any of these links have a VM installer?

Sun's java doesn't work with some websites because those websites are not using Java correctly, not the other way around.

Lots of sites are still coding java for MS ancient java vm, it is not sun's fault or anyone elses but those websites. It's the same issue with websites that don't show up properly in mozilla, it's not because mozilla is borken but 9 times outta 10 the website is broken(i.e. it was coded just for internet explorer).

Bottom line is if a website doesn't work with Sun's Java than the website is doing it wrong. Hopefully these sites will start to get away from coding thier webpages just for IE, and start to move towards coding for the actual standards so they'll work in all the browsers.

Chrysalis - he shouldn't have called you stupid but MS java works fine in MYIE2 because myIE2 is basically a frontend for Internet Explorer, so of course MS Java will work in MYIE2 because it's the same thing as IE.

well sorry if I assumed the place to get msjava from was ms themselves, I know msjava is old and sites are been written specifically for it but thats not my fault, I just want the java that works best, I had a ton of problems with sun java and the other browsers, and for some reason sun java refused to work in IE altogether so I decided to dump sun altogether and revert back.

    • A summary of the article shouldn't be an issue in theory, as the information is all based within the document itself. The problem with a lot of AI models is that they are trained off both Wikipedia as a primary source and other secondary websites which have less reliable information. As an encyclopaedia it is no doubt going to have bias in one way or another, all encyclopaedias do. The difference is that there is a process for a lot of this information to be figured out whether or not it is an opinion, or the source of that information, and to be aware of the possible bias in the first place, even your own bias as a reader. The way many people understand languages these days is quite limited, particularly in certain areas of the world. This is obvious in many types of "journalism" where some articles are thinly disguised opinion pieces, Where language is carefully curated to push a point of view despite it looking like fact. This is partly why a lot of the Western world is now so divided.
    • I paid for a year subscription, starting in December, I think. I like the user-friendliness and assets like royalty-free music and sounds. But they need to fix some of the horrific bugs before they start adding more features. For starters, you should be able to drag stuff around the timeline without it completely obliterating transitions, synchronization timing, and clip lengths. If you already set up footage and audio how you want, and try to insert more by sliding content to the right, you'll have to clean it all up again. The scroll wheel constantly stops working, and you have to minimize the window and restore it to get it back. When selecting text at the top right in special text tools, it glitches and goes to "copy" mode with a weird pop-up on top of your cursor and you can't type. These are more important than AI tools and new features. Microsoft, start by making your product less painful to use.
    • 🙄 Whats the need to launder? Do you have any reputable sources?
    • Thanks, I'll download it and see how it goes. Gonna be tough. I've used Nova Launcher for around 10+ years I think.
    • Wikipedia has become hot molasses with mostly filth masquerading as truth. Most of it is the imagination of few writers who think of themselves as above god. The narrative setup is mind boggling.
