jason i think you're confusing javascript with java runtime as gunter has noted. websites that require newer engines can't be fixed by updating sun's java, js rendering is part of the browser and can't be updated, you will need to use km 1.6 to take advantage of newer js functions.

java runtime for browsers is not very common, however some very popular online rpg and strategy games are developed with it so hardcore gamers need to keep java up to date. the developers of those games chose java over flash or shockwave at a time when flash wasn't available for linux and java games provide better cross-platform support especially that flash is crash-prone on mac osx. java games are also more resource friendly- at least before adobe introduced hardware acceleration but most importantly you don't want to miss out on gunter's serenity lakes

on a slightly different topic, did the mozilla plugins check used to work with 1.6?

i think it used to but i'm not sure.. it throws a js error in the console: something not defined, it works with firefox 3.5 but oddly it gives  similar errors in km 1.5 yet the js continues to load fine and the page can still read the plugins.. strange?

no matter what i do it doesn't seem to work on 1.6, with default profile ..the js is halted and prevented from accessing plugins, 1.5 continues to load with the errors without hiccups why? could it possibly be a kmeleon 1.6 bug in js engine since it loads on same firefox 3.5?[/quote]
