Interviewed by CNN on 05/03/2013 12:04, Roger Fink told the world:
FWIW, while the latest java update, 1.7.0.17 appears to work well, it
also knocks out javascript in SeaMonkey 2.15.2, at least that was my
experience (Firefox 18.0.1 was unaffected).
I reverted back to 1.7.0.15.
I don't see how it could "knock out" javascript, since javascript is
embedded in the Gecko engine, and Java is a plug-in. That is, Java only
receives code that has been handed to it by Gecko. If it's Javascript,
Gecko won't hand it to Java. The two technologies (Java and Javascript)
aren't related except by name.
And, by the way, I have just tested Seamonkey with Java 1.7.0.17 on the
ACID3 page (which uses a lot of Javascript) and it passed with no problems.
http://acid3.acidtests.org/
I understand that the "relationship" between the two is just an accident
of language, or careless use of language, but the sequence of events was
hard to miss and Win7 system restore did what it was supposed to do.
Everything is fine now except that I'm back to the older version. I
posted this because I wanted to see if other people experienced the same
problem.
