Note that Java != Javascript. The name Javascript was simply an attempt to ride on the wave of marketing for Java. It has worked. Many people think they are related. They are not. I am not playing with java (useless in the scientific area), however many molecular structures are shown on the web which require java. The world of Java seems fraught with programs that are version specific. Perhaps you are hitting one of those cases. Perhaps Java in general is working but a particular program is version specific and doesn't match your version? Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
