OK. On the PC (XP), I clear the browser cache and history -- in fact everything (FireFox) and I clear the Java plugin cache from the control panel. I load the page and it still reports pre19 when it is really pre17. Using a browser that has never been exposed to 19 correctly shows 17 as the version.

I have also been observing some strangeness in safari with pre-19 in
Safari. Most disturbing however is the following, which I see on both

I have pre-16 on a web page.  When I access it the contextual menu for
the applet tells me it is pre-16.  I then replace the applet with
pre-17, clear history and cache and the contextual menu reports
correctly pre-17.   Same procedure for pre-19 and the contextual menu
is again correct.   Delete the applet altogether -- clear history and
cache and things don;t work on the PC but I have evidence that they do
on the Mac, even with killing the browser and restarting it.

That seems very strange.

I will
test this some more but it appears that something is getting stored
somewhere that I am not aware of.

The I reinstall pre-17 on the server. Clear cache and history, and
the PC still shows pre-19 in the contextual menu -- as does the Mac.
Is something getting stored someplace from pre-19 and if so, how do you
kill it?

The Java-plugin has cache that is separate from the browser cache.

On Win32, there should be a Java coffee cup labeld Java Plug-in in the
Windows Control Panel.

On Mac OS X it is under Applications -> Utilities -> Java -> Java 1.4.2
Plugin Settings

My experience is that the Java Plug-in *reliably* updates based upon the
date/time of the file on the web server.


If it is selecting the incorrect file, then I would look suspiciously at
my web server ... and *I* would try to diagnose what timestamp information
is being returned for JmolApplet.jar ... While this is something that I
would do I realize that it is probably not something that is easy for you
to do.
