    The following web page claims not to detect any version of Java on my computer:
    www.map24.com/
    (you might get forwarded to a country specific site)
    Simply enter a city and click continue.

    Using 10.3.8, Mozilla 1.7.5, JavaEmbeddingPlugin 0.9 and according to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml 1.4.2_5 this does not detect any Java.

    Using Safari 1.2.4 (v125.12) this works however.

      I'm not able to reproduce this (tested with Mozilla 1.7.5 on Mac OS X
      10.3.8 with JEP 0.9.0 and the latest Java, 1.4.2_05-141.4, including
      security update 2005-02).

      Check to be sure you have Java enabled :-)

        Java works on the page, at first it tries to detect my version of Java; it then says cannot detect anything and offers me three options saying: 'Use static map', 'I have Java installed, go ahead' and 'Install' Java.

        If I click 'I have Java installed, go ahead' it works.

        Therefore, it is not a big deal.

        Java is enabled, http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
        sees my Java.

        Same behaviour with a new user and with Camino 0.8.2.

          This sounds a lot like Mozilla Bug 97613

          https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97613

            I don't think so.  Rather, it seems that the map24.com applets have
            code that looks for (and recognizes) particular browsers and JVMs.  If
            they see a browser-JVM combination they recognize, they show the
            choice between "Static" (no Java) and "Interactive" (with Java) on the
            screen briefly, then take you automatically to "Interactive".
            Otherwise you must choose "Interactive" manually.  But when you do so
            it works fine with the JEP.

            Maybe one of these days the map24.com applets will deign to recognize
            the JEP-Mozilla combination :-)

          Oh.  I though you were saying that _neither_ http://www.map24.com/ nor
          http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml can detect any Java
          version ... which is exactly what happens when you have Java disabled.
