Java Hell

:) First up Hi to everyone sorry for not posting an intro 'post' but i really need help.

I have been using OSX since it came out and think it totally rocks. Recently (about a fortnight ago) I upgraded to 10.3.9 on my G3 700 iBook. Everything worked fine apart from Java script. Any browser (FF, Cam, Safari, IE) unexpectedly quit when accessing certain web pages. (pages I had previously been able to access like Streetmap.co.uk and Soundclick.com)
A quick Internet trawl turned up a while host of info on this. After following the prescribed steps (Java 1.4.2 install) the problem did not go away :(
I stepped through every forum help section I could find and sent countless bug reports at the request of the browsers auto reports but to no avail. In desperation I upgraded again this time a 'clean' Erase and install of OSX 10.4 but no end to my troubles was in sight. I now have the latest Tiger OS with every Java patch I can find and still have not fixed the problem.

Turning Plug ins off or disabling Java Script allows access to the sites but disables required functionality. If anyone has any tips on how to fix this I would be unendingly grateful.

It looks like 10.3.9 and above have real Java issues according to the wed info I have looked at.

TIA Robin
 
Java and JavaScript are not related in any way at all, despite both having "Java" in their name, so the Java 1.4.2 update will do absolutely nothing for your JavaScript problem.

Are those sites you listed the exact sites that are causing problems, or is it some sub-page of those sites that causes problems? Can you provide a direct link to some of the pages that cause the problems?
 
Well the streetmap homepage www.streetmap.co.uk will cause any browser to quit.
I thought that it could be a firewall/ browser/ modem/ ruter problem but I have not changed any of these settings from my origiona working configuration.
Also its only this iBook that displays the problem.
 
Yeh sorry about that may be not so cleat on the old description.
I have narrowed it down to a JAva Sc ript problem that causes any of my browsers to quit when I visit these sites with Java Script activated.
Any idea guys?
