cant attach files to email with browse button - weird!!
 

i have ubuntu 6.06 and i recently installed sunjava onto it...
after that, i am not able to attach files to my hotmail unless i type in the path of the file...using the browse button causes the window to close...no errors given or anything...
and cant find anything on the internet..probably because i dont know what exactly is wrong...
got any solutions..?

does hotmail uses activeX? might be the problem not sure though

i dont know...what it is or whether hotmail has it...will have to check it..

ok...from what ive read on it...i think i should be having ActiveX..pretty sure coz it was working before I put java on...
not sure what to do about it.

i read over it thast it was after you installed java... i dont think the problem is activex then cuz they dont have much in comon.

what you should do is open a terminal then start the browser from there start firefox with the command
then do what you gotta do and when it crashes (or closes) you'll maybe see some warnings in the console. post that here maybe it makes some clearance

good thinking but that doesnt work...coz after you enter the command firefox..it doesnt show anything else..just gives command prompt...thats it.

dammnit just tried it myself and i found that out :/ try if it does the same in other browser (like mozilla (the old one) konqueror etc)

/edit oh this just popped in my mind try:

works with mozilla firefox...but not firefox web browser...
think ill manage with mozilla...thanks...good stuff!!!

too bad ya got solution

good luck
