Hen, You are right, I did type it wrong, and it should be an = instead of a +. I also bet this is an older version. The site will work with Internet Explorer on the Windows side, with a plugin from Microsoft, but so far we can't get it to work with Sun.
Jerry, Possibly you have hit on it. I ran the list as you suggested, the first is Shockwave Flash, then Shockwave for Director. Then the Java Plug-in says it is 1.3.1 (CFM), then another Java Plug-in that is 1.3.1, and finally a Java for Cocoa plug-in that is 1.4.2. Then there is a long list of QuickTime plug-in's. (I have QuickTime 6.5.1 Pro installed) I can't send an attachment showing the list, hopefully this will help. Do the Java 1.3.1's make this the problem, or since I have the 1.4.2 why does the dialogue box say I need it? I downloaded the 1.4.2 drivers directly from Sun and installed them when we were trying to troubleshoot this a couple weeks ago. Any suggestions would really be appreciated, and I thank you both for your replies. John R. On Jul 7, 2004, at 4:32 PM, Henri Yandell wrote: > > Unsure exactly.
