Okay most of the the internet relys on Java, you may load a page and wounder why is this page all messed up - Java may not be working. Here's what you do, go to this webpage> Java Test Page if there is no pink box in that blue rectangle test window then Java aint working. Here's how you fix the problem. First uninstall java from your computer, yes I said uninstall. If you dont have Java on computer yet this will still work. Okay now download this version of Java Correct Version For K-Meleon 1.5.4 Now I gotta say www.oldapps.com is hosting that file so go there some time I guess if it's supportive?? I donno but any way after you install that version Java will work! make sure and disable Java update too!

Ohh noo I messed up :O Okay dont use that link to get java I really made a goof up! use this one This Is The Correct Java! Not The One Above

Or perhaps before you mess it with an ancient version, click Help > FAQ and read about Sun's "new generation" crap and how to fix it by renaming a folder or file, or whatever the trick was :cool:

By the way I doubt that "most" of todays web would need Java, since I never had it installed, yet 98% of pages work fine ;-) You don't happen to mean JavaSCRIPT?? Since KM154 has an older javascript version, and there are more and more sites today which only display correctly with the newer javascript version from KM1.6 (beta version on download page)

Well i'm sure others will find this easy to understand, if it's not an absolute requirement than at liest the older java version is still a useable option, it's better than nothing if you require it. it works thats what matters, aint got any more to say about it unless some one wants some help.

Okay most of the the internet relys on Java,

Means usually JavaScript.

Only in a minority of cases it means Java (Sun's JavaVirtualMachine that executes half compiled bite code that is suitable across OS borders).

BTW. siria You cannot view my lake applets homepage with Java (applet!) off.
And IMHO it is worth viewing

p.s. @Jason - I agree. It is essential that PPL pass on links on older versions & keep their downloads since the links disappear and then now more flash, java whatever if You have to reinstall OS after a crash.

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?
https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
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?

shouldn't it continue to load the js unless there's a security risk like firefox 3.5.1?

I should have said java runtime environment from the start, didint mean to confuse any one. I kinda loosely said most of the internet uses Java (Java Runtime
Environment), i've seen ebay and other places not work without it and that is kinda important to my brother. The new beta version of K-Meleon is really nice, i'm not good with understanding all that code talk so i'm waiting until the smart people fix the bugs. If I could be of more help I would, kinda in a fog. Yes as most have said this is not some Javascript fix, I dont know much about Javascript but these people do so ask them about that stuff "if" your haveing problems.

I only needed Java for 1 site recently: Formula One Live Timing. It used to work with FireFox 1.5 (Opera's a mess - believe it or not Opera 10.5 which works with Win98 also doesn't let you use an external Java because it has one built in I think - details I kinda forget now) but stopped sometime last year. Now I'm tempted to try it with K-M.

Thank you Siria!

Exeptions Button appears only with JSBridge.dll.
Now we have a simple test for rebuilds of this library.
Tested all KM1.54/KM1.6/KM1.7 and CVS-Version.

But KM1.54 has an additional option:
"According to privacy settings"
with Button "Privacy Settings".

Is it broken, or has it been dropped?
Could also be specific to GRE 1.8.1.

If nobody knows, I'll search for this
or ask desga2 who made the new preferences.

i think it's specific to 1.8 but not sure..desga should know. hey, i never got to thank you for the workaround for 1288, fixed several extensison for 1.6, really appreciate your help in this.

i'm not sure if should continue load, i couldn't see the source in 1.6 from the error console kept crashing the entire browser so had to open it in 1.5 which throws a different error but can still detect the plugins... not really concerned about mozilla's upodate plugins site but what if its a bug that can affect other sites, more popular=user gets bovvered(FACEBOOK..ARGH)

your xulbridge question reminded me of something i should telll gordon..so thanks again!

Good to know the workaround was useful.

If you fixed those extensions, why didn't you fix
your Console and Console2? It's the same problem and
results in CrashBadaboum (as defined in sources).

Look for viewSource.xul in chrome/embed.jar and change this:
<browser id='content' type='content-primary'
<browser id='content' type='chrome'

Guenter has the patched chrome for KM 1.6b2 on his site.
--

There is a problem with 'mozilla's update plugins site',
if it fails to detect its own child.
And I can't test Camino with GRE 1.9.1 which should
contain all required changes and may even solve Bug 1288.

If 'other sites' are affected, you're for sure the first one
who finds out. :cool:

I will try to get working typeaheadfind with my
profile. It never worked for me and crashes KM
in Fred's latest. Could be caused by too many URLs.

For console ViewSource I like better an old suggestion from a mail by You.

Repalcing in Console2.xml

openDialog("chrome://global/content/viewSource.xul", "_blank",
"all,dialog=no", this.getAttribute("href"), null, null,
this.getAttribute("line"));

With the following that calls a K-Meleon native view-source window.

window.open( "view-source:" + this.getAttribute("href") + "?" +
this.getAttribute("line") );


The drawback is that K-Meleon's native view-source has not context-menu or other menu and does not accept "line" as parameter. I wonder whether that drawbacks can be fixed.


IMHO generally replacing with: <browser id='content' type='chrome' can be a security risk?

deadlock has put a patched chrome/embed.jar to http://dhost.info/kmeleonskins/
Not all know where guenter stores K-Meleon stuff.

Working typeaheadfind came with version K-Meleon 1.0 AFAIK.
Make sure no ancient profile entries from before that are present.

thanks gunter and deadlock, fixed the errorconsole crash now and found another bug related to the very annoying cert warning second window, linked to neterror.xhtml and pref browser.chrome.favicon. reported there
http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/bugs/viewbug.php?bugid=1315

fixed embed with previous fixes:
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/tests/embed-certerrorfixes.7z

with distinctive ssl error pages:

additionally links to images of airport piggies have been removed

you might want to add a new boolean browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert and set to true(saves an extra step on error certs)

embed also contains css modifications for more classic internal file browser

Chrome windows sized to parent size look ugly
and I also don't like modal windows.

But, if your patch is applied, there is no option
to open Certificate Viewer.

In KM 1.54 the page returns several small dialogs,
before you get to the page, Certificate Viewer is available.

I like the colours of the css.



Edited 4 time(s). Last edit at 06/20/2011 10:17AM by deadlock.

thanks deadlonch, can you please add the fix to the bug report so when th devs return they can compile right away. i think it's still important to encode the favicon inside neterror to display the achtung icon in the tab and urlbar:


with the original neterror, the favicon doesn't show in urlbar or tab and just uses skin default


i tried to add a view certificate button to the cert error page but gecko simply won't allow it very bluntly told me security won't allow calling viewcert() from xhtml, can only be allowed from xul and certerror is tied to universal neterror.xhtml. chrome browser doesn't have view certificate page in certerror page as well and won't allow access to triple cert errors in one site.. fools people into 'page not found'.

do you have any idea for this bug?
http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/bugs/viewbug.php?bugid=1261
it's the one i hate most and driving me crazy, i've looked into xul bindings and dom_xul and layout_xul components and can't pinpoint it

@disrupted
Sorry for posting before thinking.
I'll edit this post, while work is in progress.

--
Update1:
1) K-Meleon opens url successful (Title is 'Page Load Error').
2) K-Meleon doesn't ask XUL for cert-errors!
3) K-Meleon looks for
https://www.mrtech.com/favicon.ico
although a cert error occurred.
4) XUL opens chrome-window with 2'nd title 'Page Load Error'

This is a test fix, where step 3 and 4 are skipped.
All other pages can load their site-icons.
(Filename is BrowserImpl.cpp, my changes are red.)

if (type.Equals(NS_LITERAL_STRING('DOMContentLoaded')))
{
// DOMContentLoaded is not send if the page is reloaded from cache
// Nevertheless I'm using it to get the IE favicon without waiting
// for all images of the page to be loaded

NS_ENSURE_TRUE(m_pBrowserFrameGlue, NS_ERROR_FAILURE);
CString title;
m_pBrowserFrameGlue->GetBrowserTitle(title);
if(_tcsncmp(_T('Page Load Error'),title,15)==0)
{
return NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED;
}

m_pBrowserFrameGlue->SetFavIcon(nsnull);
return NS_OK;
}

Update2:
Found out what filters warning icon:
'chrome://global/skin/icons/warning-16.png'

CBrowoserImpl.cpp -> HandleEvent 'DOMLinkAdded'

rv = secMan->CheckLoadURI(docUri, favUri,
nsIScriptSecurityManager:TANDARD);
/* failure means it didn't pass the security check */
if (NS_FAILED (rv)) return NS_OK;

No Chrome icons pass the lines above.
GRE 1.9.1 nsIScriptSecurityManager killed Console2 too.

Update3:
rv = secMan->CheckLoadURI(docUri, favUri,
nsIScriptSecurityManager:TANDARD
| nsIScriptSecurityManager::ALLOW_CHROME);
/* failure means it didn't pass the security check */
if (NS_FAILED (rv)) return NS_OK;

This change allows loading chrome icons.
The yellow warning is in Caption and URLBar again.

Update4:
Tried to list all involved preferences:

(For title, urlbar, tabs and plugins.)
kmeleon.favicons.show

(To disable titleBar icons if show enabled.)
kmeleon.favicons.titleBar

(To disable bookmarks icons if show enabled.)
kmeleon.plugins.bookmarks.displaySiteicon

(Does it cache chrome, and what happens if not?)
kmeleon.favicons.cached

Chrome usage:
(for title, urlbar, tabs and plugins)
browser.chrome.favicons

if (!theApp.preferences.GetBool('browser.chrome.favicons', TRUE))
{
rv = secMan->CheckLoadURI(docUri, favUri,
nsIScriptSecurityManager:TANDARD);
}
else
{
rv = secMan->CheckLoadURI(docUri, favUri,
nsIScriptSecurityManager:TANDARD
| nsIScriptSecurityManager::ALLOW_CHROME);
}

Update5:
Problem solved: (no 2'nd popup and working favicon refresh)
1) Allow load of chrome images on netError.
2) Block favicon if invalid cert for URI. (warning-16.png is not blocked, it uses siteicon code.)
3) Enable show favicon if matching overwrite cert rule exists.
4) Force refresh favicon at end of overwrite button code.

todo: Test HTTPS site with siteicon and without favicon.

Found several http sites with siteicons and favicons.
Last loaded icon is displayed. Any ideas?

Micro$oft favicons are:
<server>/favicon.ico

Siteicons are:
rel='icon' or rel='shortcut icon' src='picture'

--
Next I would try to fix this (or later):
- chrome-windows with parameters
- remove all size to content changes that where added
- remove display problems if 'size to content' is used.
(update: fixed by minimize + moving up 2000 pixels on create and moving back on resize.)



Edited 8 time(s). Last edit at 06/22/2011 06:46PM by deadlock.

i think i found the problem for 1261, which this one might be related to and possibly this one as well http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/bugs/viewbug.php?bugid=1308
. the child isn't forced to parent's size but it's sizetocontent isn't being initalised for new windows when there is no width/height attrbs.

for example if you write xul without defining width or height or presist etc

<!DOCTYPE window>
<window xmlns= "http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";

>
<box>
<description>no size</description>
</box>
</window>

then you call it from macro, ideally it should calculate the content space inside and open with the right size. compare with km 1.5.x/1/1/x or firefox but in 1.6 instead of opening with size ready it opens the window with just the titlebar. but sizetocontent still works if you put it in onload like we did in all extensions but it isn't initialised on it's own but then why does it ignore width or height attributes and opens like parent? it doesn't actually.. if we add width and height, it will recognise them and draw the window with proper width and height

e.g
<!DOCTYPE window>
<window width="130" height="30"
xmlns= "http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";

>
<box>
<description>predefined width and height</description>
</box>
</window>

you can write your xul and add all your panels and vboxes normally and then add your width/height and the window will still adhere to your assigned width/height until you call some file from outside the xul, that's when all the crazy begins and that's why all xul windows are having a fit in 1.6

normally any xul window will call the global css, that alone is enough to make the child open in parent's size and ignore all your width/height/size/position/screen variables, already it doesn't calculate content beforehand, it doesn't know how to draw the window n its own

now same code above but adding global css

<!DOCTYPE window>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>

<window width="130" height="30"
xmlns= "http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";

>
<box>
<description>call global style</description>
</box>
</window>

no longer will your width height be read and the window will open(not resize) like parent so the only way to fix it is to add window.sizetocontent onload

and this will happen if you call any external css or js, even in same chrome...doesn't matter

<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://anotherchrome/skin/mycss.css" type="text/css"?>
or
<?xml-stylesheet href="insidemychrome.css" type="text/css"?>

or a js
<script src="initalise.js"/>

now if we add the code js script and styles inside the xul
for e.g using global css for simple window/dialog

<!DOCTYPE window>
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<window width="130" height="30"
xmlns= "http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";
style="-moz-appearance: window;
background-color: -moz-Dialog;
color: -moz-DialogText;
font: message-box;"

>
<box>
<description>adding internal styledescription>
</box>
</window>

same with js,


<script type="application/x-javascript">
<![CDATA[
var hello = { document.write("hello world");}]]>
</script>

and then calling hello or whatever functions onload, the size works fine

here's a test example using policymanager
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/tests/kmpolicies-test9.7z
all js and css coded inside..the parent size problem is gone (look inside selectpolicy and policymanager xuls, right click on page and select "policies manager" to test the windows, dialog policyman is called from the button manage )

so the bug seems to be at xpcom and domwindow, no calculating of xul content and ignoring all position/size attributes when a js or css is called from outside

Error: window is undefined

If it is similar to the problem with console2,
the parent opener of netError.xhtml needs modification.

Update 1:
(Bug 1315 -> 'Page Load Error' window without Cert-viewer)
Now the title displays 'Page Load Error' and
the tab title displays 'empty', although the page is not empty.
Shouldn't a tab title represent it's content?

It will be possible to add code for 'View Certificate'.
The 'Continue...' button already has some code in
CBrowserGlue::performXULCommand. (todo)

Involved preferences:
security.remember_cert_checkbox_default_setting
security.default_personal_cert
browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert

(Bug 1315 -> triggers a second browser window)
Your raw image solution is perfect for 1.6b2.
pippki.dll and pippki.xpt are involved.
Without them, the second modal 'Page Load Error'
window is not loaded. (thanks Guenter)
For KM1.6b3 the ahead search for a hosts favicon has to
be aborted, if badCertService->GetRecentBadCert shows
an error for that host. (todo)
