IE 8 has issues. Calling navigator.javaEnabled() returns true - even though I have never installed Java on this particular computer. Firefox 3.0.6 is correct and returns false.
Using http://www.javatester.org/enabled.html, their test using this: This web browser can <applet ...>NOT</applet> run Java applets also causes IE 8 to display the modal pop-up "The page you are using uses Java. More information on Java support is available from the Microsoft website. | | Do not show this message again." However, further down the page, their call to javaEnabled() displays true. Firefox displays "... NOT run Java applets" and displays false for the Javascript call. It's true that a user could simply check the box "Do not show this message again." but it's misleading and would confuse our users. FYI, the computer I'm running this on is a MacBook with Windows Vista (all updates installed) with IE 8 which I just installed a few days ago. I have never installed Java. I installed IE 8 on this computer for the sole purpose of testing our web app on IE8. Using the latest prototype.js, everything looks good so far except for this issue. -- Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
