No Java installed and no browser will run applets.
Pain pills and antibiotics? More Christmas goodies Clint?

I meant to say Java APPLETS and not JavaScript, but FireFox (FF) also won't support much JavaScript. I don't know about Mozilla, but when I installed FF v.9.3, 1.0PR, 1.0RC1, none of them supported Java Applets and many sites that used JS they didn't work with it. I had to install the latest version of Sun JRE Java to have more Java Applets and JavaScript to be supported.
Yes, Harold, I forgot to mention that clock uses the same kind of code my mouse cursor effects use at some of my webpages and FF won't work with them. It also won't support webpage scroll bar decorations. I haven't used FF in about 3 months and I only used it for about a month or so total, so I may be a bit "foggy" on things (plus being on pain pills and antibiotics can't help. Hee hee :-)

Mozilla does support Javascript natively Clint. No extension is needed
to run Javascript Clint.
The only thing Moz/FF can't do that IE can is support ActiveX, the most
insecure and buggy dynamic language on the net. Most would think this a
good thing.
For starters look at how FF handles CSS here
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/complexspiral/demo.html and try
the same page in IE. Note the differences.
The problem here is that this piece of code is not compatible with
Netscape/Mozilla, a very common occurrence with Javascript.
Perhaps if this clock was done with Flash, a more universal language
there wouldn't be so many issues.

Harold, like I said yesterday, FF doesn't support JavaScript Natively, and you need dozens of extensions to get FF to do some of the things IE can support or accomplish. Just installing the download and nothing else is a stripped down bare bones browser. -Clint

Hello again,
My new passion is getting accustomed to this Mozilla Firefox
browser (I got
the idea from Vern's posting). Firefox can be downloaded from:
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox&os=win&lang=en-US
That's one long URL, no spaces if you have your window reduced
in size.
You'll get a download dialog box (not even a browser page),
something I
never saw before. It's a possible substitute to Internet
Explorer and so
far, it seems to have some of the best features of both
Netscape and IE.
However, here's a page that works well with IE but doesn't work
with
FireFox:

anyone
explain why? . Harold
