problems with JAVA functions/features today

[mike_s]

Upgraded to Firefox v11. Doesn't seem to fix it. I **tried** to upgrade to update 31 of Java, but doesn't appear to be working properly. Looks like I'm at Java Version 1.6.0_30 per website Java Tester - What Version of Java Are You Running? Still... not sure why Update 30 wouldn't be working as it's very recent.

Without being able to sit at your computer, I can't diagnose a problem like this.

You should maybe try

1) Disabling all plugins for your browser.
2) Clearing Cache and Cookies.

It appears that this issue is localized to this machine and firefox... right? Does it happen at home? I am assuming you're at work.

What happened when you use the "standard editor" instead of WYSIWYG?

Let me ask you this...

Do quicklinks and other dropdown menus work?

Let me ask you this... Do quicklinks and other dropdown menus work?

yes. they work. resizing the "reply window" (bottom right corner of the text window you type in works also. So Java is working

1) Disabling all plugins for your browser.

trying that now... but it still doesn't seem to have an effect with EVERYTHING disabled.

...

note that earlier I reported I had Java update 30. (using that web tool to check). However my plugin says I have Java update 31. not sure if it completed properly or perhaps that external website isn't 100% updated itself.

Clearing Cache and Cookies.

gonna try that next. (had to go finish something else first and got sidetracked)

It appears that this issue is localized to this machine and firefox... right?

I think it's localized to this machine and Firefox. others with Firefox this works. One other person has reported issues in MOF that are very similar.

Does it happen at home?

not that I'm aware of. I really wasnt online hardly this weekend.

What happened when you use the "standard editor" instead of WYSIWYG?

will check that also.

test: 1 2 3 4 (still has issue if no carriage returns with numbers).

One other person that I know of has had issues that are similar and seem to be localized to one computer.

This is the editor that's in use. Demo | CKEditor

Can't say why it's happening and localized to specific browsers. It's not Java or otherwise. If you can work around it with another browser, then there's not much I can do for you on this end, other than spitball ideas. There's nothing broken on SB as far as I can surmise.

Ok.. seems to be working now. I was trying one "change" at a time to isolate.

this was a "delete cookie" that corrected it.


really odd. I thought about deleting the cookie when this started, but would have bet money that it wasn't the problem. It really seemed to be Java issues. (which is why I tried to update JAVA first thing.)

anwyay... it seems to be fixed. odd.... but it works...

Thanks for your quick support.

(I should have just done that to start with.... sorry for the Goose chase).

I'm having issues with the chat room, since the 17th..... have cleaned cookies, dumped temps and all the other standard fixes.... am getting a java dump onto my desktop every time I try to get into the chat though....

Any suggestions?

Try installing the latest Java - 6.0.31.

Clearing cookies is more to resolve browser issues. If you're getting a Java dump, I'd think that's not the problem.
