[Jmol-users] Apple blocks java 6 applets on Snow Leopard

2013-01-31 Thread Eric Martz
All of a sudden today I'm out of business developing Jmol applet-based web pages. And apparently so are all users of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Apparently Apple has blocked the use of java applets by blocking the current java version on Snow Leopard, 1.6.0_37. I didn't know they could do that!

Dear Eric, Sorry to know that the Java problem started to affect also users from OSX older than 10.7 I'm running 10.7 and have several problems: Jmol applet from a server always requests authorization (it seems to forget preferences), and I'm having problems running Jmol applet on local web

As I said, java applets are blocked in all browsers. I've tested Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. My tests are in Snow Leopard only. Applets still work in Windows. At 1/31/13, you wrote: This is because the Oracle fix did not fix the vulnerability. Does Firefox work? I have not tried. Philip

Re: [Jmol-users] Windows: Java 7 very sluggish

I find that Java 7 (1.7.0_11) on Windows is very sluggish. So slow that it could well drive away most users of complex Jmol pages (e.g. Proteopedia, FirstGlance in Jmol). That's strange, Eric. I've been using Java 7 for a long time in one of my PCs and have not noticed this problem. It

In Windows, since a week or so when this Java danger started, Firefox blocks all applets but allows you to activate them by one click -- until next time a page is loaded, then you must do it again. -- Everyone hates

I dumped Java 7 several weeks ago and went back to an older version which i have been using judiciously ---enable/disable. Now on 1/31 neither Firefox nor Safari display anything using OSX 10.8.2. See classes.yale.edu/chem220. Fred Ziegler On Jan 31, 2013, at 3:13 PM, Eric Martz
