Would someone with slackware and Firefox browser kindly have a look at the following web page for me:

http://bensonkites.com/tech/colourizer.html

When I initially go to the page I can fill in the colourizer, but when I select an alternative kite design (eg Gemini) all I get in the colourizer window is plain blank white.

I am using Slackware 12.1 and Firefox 3.5.

Many thanks,

Bill.

I did the first one, then selected the Gemini, and I got a plain, white kite to color. Seems to be working for me using Slackware64-13.0 and Firefox 3.5.2

Thank's for that report.

I'm actually with slackware 12.1 (fully patched) and a self-compiled Firefox 3.5.3.

It could be due to many things e.g. Firefox preference settings. That's why I am asking for a few reports to point me in the right direction.

Bill.

Works fine for me in 12.1 with Firefox 3.0.4 (I know I am way behind the times).

Colored the first one, then selected Gemini, and was able to color that one as well.

It worked for me too in Slackware 12.2 with Firefox 3.5.2.

Regards,

Right, just to exclude my own compiled Firefox being the cause of my problem, I have download the pre-compiled binaries from Mozilla for Firefox 3.5.2 and Firefox 3.0.0.14. I still get the same problem with both these Firefox versions.

If I manually enter the url for any of the alternative 'colourizer' pages into the address bar of Firefox then the page displays correctly. It seems that with my 'set-up' there is a problem when I switch from one page using Java to another using Java.

I have no idea why this should be.

Any ideas?.

Bill.

From Firefox, click on Edit > Preferences and select the Content Tab.
Make sure that Enable JavaScript, and Enable java are ticked.

Yes, both are checked.

Java applets on other sites I visit work fine for me. It is just on this site that I seem to be having problems.

I have visited various Java Applet test sites and report Java installed and functional.
