When going to URL
<http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/dynamicpnf.html?$SPX> I get message:
"You either do not have Java enabled or you have an out-of-date version

try again."
It worked fine with SM2.0.14
I'm not getting any problem. However, I recall that I had to reset the
Java checkbox in my preferences after going from SM 2.0.14 to SM 2.1 (or
was it from SM 2.1 to 2.2?).
1. On the menu bar, go to [Edit> Preferences].
2. On the left side of the Preferences window under Category, go to
[Advanced].
3. On the Advanced pane, make sure the Enable Java checkbox is checked.
4. Then, on the left side of the Preferences window under Category, go
to [Advanced> Scripts& Plugins].
5. Make sure the checkbox for Browser is checked. You might also want
to review and adjust what scripts are allowed to do.
The only two checkboxes that I have checked are:
Change status bar text
Change images
However, none of the checkboxes on the Scripts& Plugins pane --
including the Browser checkbox under "Enable JavaScript for" -- should
have any connection to Java. Java and JavaScript are two completely
different entities.
On the SeaMonkey menu bar, go to [Help> About Plugins]. On the
"Enabled plugins" page, scroll down to "Java(TM) Platform". What
version number do you see? I have 6.0.260.3, but that's for Windows XP.
You apparently are using a MAC. The Java download site says: "Apple
supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software Update feature
(available on the Apple menu) to check that you have the most up-to-date
version of Java for your Mac."
Try viewing<http://davesfiles.com/HTML/hex_decimal_color_picker.htm>.
If that works, your problem might be the stockcharts.com Web site and
not your setup.
By the way, please bottom-post. That is, put your new reply below the
quoted messages, not above. Some inhabitants of the news.mozilla.org
newsgroup get very nasty and hostile when visitors don't follow that
convention here. On the other hand, some Usenet newsgroups want you to
top-post as you have been doing. This is mentioned in "Netiquette
Guidelines" (RFC 1855) in Section 3.1.1, where it states:
If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you
summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just
enough text of the original to give a context.
I tried<http://davesfiles.com/HTML/hex_decimal_color_picker.htm> as you
suggested. It produces a page, but how do I know if it is rendering
properly?
Maneuver the little ring in the large colored circle and the slider on
the "Brightness" bar below the colored circle. The default is
background color.
You should see the background color in the rectangle under "Sample
Document" change to match the position of the little ring, and you
should see the number after "Brightness" change as you move the slider
(0 at the far left and 100 at the far right). Also, the hex color-codes
should change both to the right of the word "Background" and after
"BGCOLOR" in the mark-up area just under the radio buttons.
You select different radio buttons to see color changes for text, links,
etc.
I use this as an added test each time I get a new version of Java. Of
course, I also use this to determine the color-codes to use on my Web
pages and in Word documents.
I don't think the link rendered correctly since there is no "little ring
in the large colored circle" or "slider" or "radio buttons"... just some
text.
Okay, you have a problem with your configuration. I got what I
described by selecting the link from your earlier reply, just to make
sure that you had the correct link.
One last suggestion before major surgery: Try running SeaMonkey in Safe
Mode. If the installation did not provide a proper way to get that, my
shortcut in Windows has
C:\SeaMonkey2\seamonkey.exe -safe-mode
Safe mode temporarily disables all extensions but not external plugins.
If you still can't get it to work right with Safe Mode, I hate to
suggest the following because I know it's a pain in the butt. However,
I think you might want to remove both SeaMonkey and Java from your Mac,
reboot, and then reinstall them. You don't have to remove the SeaMonkey
profiles since the prior attempt at using Safe Mode has already proven
that the problem is not in your profiles.
Tried safe mode, but the java problem persists on the site I originally
described. Do you still think I need "major surgery" given that it
worked fine in 2.0.14 and that the site renders fine in my other
browser, Safari? One other mystery: when I go to javatest.org to see
what version of java I have, I get message that java is disabled on
Seamonkey (despite all preferences set to enable it). Running the same
test on Safari, I get a confirmation that java is enabled.
