I've come accross several webpages that need a plugin of some sort see: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/modules/plugin/test/SimpleTest.html They usually say: click here after installing plugin and a window pops up for the netscape plugin: Get Plugin button. After clicking the button, a netscape site appears saying: "Here are 0 matching plugin(2) found" see: http://cgi.netscape.com/cgi-bin/plug-in_finder.cgi?application/x-simple The first site above tries to explain what may be wrong, but I don't know what to do. I've checked all the suggestions on that page (see bullet points and my responses below): 1. For Windows, the class file should be in the Plug-in folder along side the DLL - I don't know what a class file is or where to get it. 2. make sure that Java isn't disabled - Java and javascript are both enabled 3. This is most likely because the Plug-in file isn't installed in the plug-in directory. Also check that the list of helpers contains an entry for type application/x-simple-plugin that names the Simple LiveConnect Sample Plug-in. - I don't know how to install the plugin into the right directory and the helper application window (file types) in preferences is empty. I don't know how to add entries there at all. -------------------------------------- Could someone please explain how plugins are installed in mozilla. This is all very confusing (not userfriendly) -- Regards, Peter Lairo
