I'm not sure it's been tested on F9 but yes, that's what he meant.

I don't know. jigzone uses LiveConnect which doesn't work at all with
gcjwebplugin which is what was included with Fedora 9. jigzone is one
of the test sites that Deepak Bhole used while working on LiveConnect
support.

It's the Java<->JavaScript bridge that many applet sites make use of.
Support for it first appeared in Fedora 10. In Fedora 9, the browser
plugin was the old gcjwebplugin. In Fedora 10, it's the completely
re-written IcedTeaPlugin which has support for LiveConnect.
HTH,

Thanks for the explanation Andrew. I'll have a go at installing the Iced Tea
Plugin for F10 on F9. If it works ok, that's fine for my F9 install, but the
same problem will still remain on my Kubuntu installs on this machine. I'll
perhaps have to report a bug against the plugin on these.
Thanks again for your input.
Nigel.
