At this web site Linux Firefox/Java is reacting different than both Mac Safari/Java or IE6/java: http://www.smithandnoble.com/sn/photoGalleryDetail.jsp?catID=-14150 If I click the pictures at the right nothing happens under Linux. The browser shows "javascript:switchImage(0)" in the lower left, but when I click on any of the small photos I get no new image. This works on other platforms but fails here on both a P4HT (x86) and an AMD64 machine, in both 64-bit mode and in a 32-bit chroot'ed environment. I see the following in the Java console: Error: document.frm_bundle.heroImage has no properties Source File: http://www.smithandnoble.com/sn/photoGalleryDetail.jsp?catID=-14150 Line: 114 I know almost nothing about Java. I have tried the blackdown-jre, blackdown-jdk and sun-jre-bin. All seem to fail the same way. lightning ~ # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.14-rt22 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-rt22 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo http://mirror.gentoo.gr.jp http://www.zentek-international.com/mirrors/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X alsa apache2 audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdb cdr crypt cups curl dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd exif expat fam ffmpeg flac fluidsynth foomaticdb fortran gif gimp gimpprint glut gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 i8x0 idn imagemagick imlib ipv6 jack jack-tmpfs java jpeg kde ladspa lcms lirc lzw lzw-tiff mad mjpeg mng mp3 mpeg mysql mythtv ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds python qt quicktime radeon readline real sdl sndfile spell ssl tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb userlocales v4l v4l2 vorbis xine xml2 xpm xscreensaver xv xvid zlib video_cards_radeon userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS lightning ~ # lightning ~ # java-config -L [blackdown-jre-1.4.2.02] "Blackdown JRE 1.4.2.02" (/etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jre-1.4.2.02) [blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03] "Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.03" (/etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03) * lightning ~ # lightning ~ # emerge -pv blackdown-jre blackdown-jdk These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

There is no java on that site only javascript
Huh... INVALID.
Wow! So these are not the same? (java and javascript?) OK, can this work on a Linux box? If so please help me understand what to install so I can test it. Thanks.

No, they are definitely not the same, neither on Windows or on Linux. You don't install anything for javascript, it *just works* if the browser supports it. Firefox definitely supports JS, so the code on that page is either broken or you have disbled JS support in FF. Finally, please note that Gentoo Bugzilla is not a support forum. Thanks. Closing.
