This is the only bad thing I have found with OSX!
The amount of websites I have wanted to use which use Java just doint work in OSX.
I am getting more and more annoyed finding out how many sites, which worked fine in OS9 just dont work in OSX.
What the hell have Apple been doing with Java?! They have messed it up real bad!
 
If you're using Internet Explorer, you're asking for trouble. Do at least use Safari ;)

Except from ejecting the CD tray and installing viruese, Java should we pretty capable on the Mac, too :D
 
I have used every browser available to Mac OSX and these sites just don't work!

I ahve had enough and given up with OSX for Java, 0S9 handles it much better!
 
Java is meant to work fine in OS X. I know that it is terrible in OS 9, taking ages to get going, and then running really slowly and crashing out. Is it something you are doing ?
 
poolgame.co.uk works fine for me. The chat site doesn't work.

You're true, i also have had a lot of Java-sites that didn't work on a Mac...

Anyone explain?
 
I know that OS X *still* can't handle the navigation Applet used by WebLogic 6.x. This is damn annoying, coz its one of the very few things I can't do from my notebook when wandering around the office and connecting to any kind of network you care to mention :)

Wait a minute.
The first link you posted, look at the applet code:

Code:

Is that valid coding ?
Where do you see any loader or void() to launch the Java ? This page's empty, it loads perfectly !

I agree, however, some sites with Java turn freak in Safari/OSX.
 
Also don't forget that it is technically possible to write Java code that only works on WinDoze...

That's why Sun sued Microsoft over their Java implementation...

It needs to be 100% pure Java to work everywhere...
 
Yeah, you're telling me (owaters).

My CS class on OOP, which uses Java as a model, also uses this really really stupid Java applet to submit assignments and guess what: it only works on Windows with IE (they even say so in the FAQ).

Stupid Java. :p
 
Here's one I've always had trouble with...Yahoo Chat. I do think however, that it did work pretty well on OS 9. But in OS X, it is truly a nightmare.:p
