Re: Unable to click on links in Navigator 4.61
I ran netscape from eterm to get a look at any error messages it might be spewing and there's lots. I did a search for some of the error s,and found a file called netscape under /etc/X11/Xresources now i do a regular backup of individual branches ( easier to restore ) and it did not appear there some days ago. I suspect it is the cause. Im about to remove it. Restarted X as well just in case Whooohooo it works again, I LUV linux its actually possible to fix the OS without having to ^$% reinstall every damn program in the process of fixing it.

Bob That's the version of netscape-base-4 that I have. It didn't fix it initially, but after restarting X, I've had no problems. Looks like it was a problem with the previous version of netscape-base-4 that X somehow cached.

Did you get the same error messages on the console at the time? Dan For me disabling Java as well as Java Scripts seems to have done it. I have also changed window managers, and am using Gnome so it could have something to do with the window manager. I seem to recall that checking with ps x showed that a piece of netscape was just locked up and if I remember correctly it was related to the Java. This was a situation where I had other things that needed to be worked on and I was just happy to have the problem go away and I didn't really think about it again until now. Maybe if I have some time I'll play with it again. Colin. -- Colin Johnson. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.interlog.com/~cjohnson Remember, Everything you see on screen is but ones and zeros.
