I have a problem with one specific website and either they way JRE runs or Javascript. I am using OpenSuse 10.2 and the problem existed in Sled 10.1. It does not matter which browser you use. There are two applets which must run. The first is a test to see which JRE you have, and the second is the java applet which you need in the first place (A version of OC://webconnect) The jretest applet downloads and starts but then stalls as if waiting for something that never comes. I tried a livecd of Knoppix 5 and the site worked fine and boths applets ran in both Konqueror and Firefox. Does this error console output give any clues?

I have munged the embedded weblink because of confidentiality rules to which I must be obedient. (Why do I not contact the company IT dept? As soon as you say Linux and Firefox or Opera or anything no M$ they clam up and say, "We only support Windoze and Explorer." Nevermind that the mainframe runs MVS.) I see obvious errors there but can't decipher them. And don't know that they even mean anything, when this site runs fine on Windoze or Knoppix.
