Hi,
   There is a web site that my wife wanted to use. The web address is here:

http://www.smithandnoble.com/sn/photoGalleryDetail.jsp?catID=-14150

On this page, on the right, there are pictures that you are supposed
to click to see a larger version to the left. This works on Windows
and it works on the Mac, but it does not work on any of our Linux
systems, using either blackdown java or sun java. I think that's a
problem so I file a bug.

   I filed a bug report here:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115949

and was told the bug was 'invalid' because the page didn't have any
Java. They said the page only has javascript. First, from a (stupid)
user's perspective I found this a bit disappointing. I'm just told
'invalid' and given no guidance about how to make it work. However
that happens when some developers have to talk to user types like me.
I understand that. Still I want to understand how to make it work so
the WAF stays high and she doesn't ask to go back to Windows.

   What's 'javascript' and how do I make this work?

Thanks,
Mark
