Firefox <-- liveconnect --> Java

Hi folks,

Is liveconnect still available in Firefox as it is in NS Navigator ?

I would like to call Java code from JavaScript in Firefox... Do you
think it is possible with liveconnect ? Does a better strategy exists ?

I tried to call Java from Javascript like this :

var myBook = new Packages.Book() ;

But it doesn't work ("Packages.B ook is not a constructor" in the JS
console, although it is !). I thought I should tell Firefox where my jar
is... And finally put my jar file into the jre/lib... Put it doesn't work
anyway.

Could somebody help me ? Have you ever tried to use YOUR Java code
through liveconnect ? Is there any security restriction ???

Thanks a lot,

Guillaume, from France

No, there are a lot of differences, Netscape 4 has its own Java VM while
Mozilla and Firefox makes use of the Sun JRE (or whatever Java runtime
environment is available on the platform).
I think in Mozilla you can still access anything in the standard Java
packages but somehow other classes are not loaded.
The same with Opera I think.
Whether that is considered a bug I am not sure.

You could place your Java stuff in an applet and access public members
of the applet, that should still work.

I have done this simple function, it seems to work as intended, to solve a problem i have had for a while. I couldnt find any sample around that was working for me. I would like to test it with you and see if there are any improvments that i should make ;-) It should be fast and if possible compatible with todays modern browser-standards. It should be activated by the onload-event. This is my code, free for all to use:

It looks like there's a pretty serious CSS bug in IE6 (v6.0.2800.1106). The HTML below is validated STRICT HTML 4.01 and renders as I would expect in Opera, FrontPage, and Netscape. For some reason, there's an annoying vertical gap between adjacent rules that doesn't go away. This looks like IE6 is incorrectly setting the margin to some arbitrary value. Does anyone know if this is a known bug at MS? If you know of one, post the...

I'm trying to design an HTML page that can edit itself. In essence, it's just like a Wiki page, but my own very simple version. It's a page full of plain old HTML content, and then at the bottom, there's an "Edit" link. So the page itself looks something like this: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>blah</TITLE></HEAD><BODY> <!-- TEXT STARTS HERE --> <H1>Hello World!</H1> <P>More stuff here...</P>

Hi all, I've written code (in REXX) that takes files in legacy languages (PL/I, COBOL, z/OS assembler, etc) and converts them into HTML in a format similar to what's displayed in the z/OS ISPF editor. A fellow member of the PCG has helped me by creating a bit of Javascript to emulate the scrolling and using Google I've now gotten it into a state where it almost passes the W3C Markup Validation Service. However, the one error, Error Line 166,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
