Well, AFAIK LiveScript is not a standard, but a Netscape feature. Thus I believe Konqueror probably does not support it. You best chance would be Netscape 6 in combination with J2SE v1.3.1. The latter is currently in beta, but I read something about Netscape 6 compatibility in the release notes. So if you don't need the LiveScript API, then Konqueror would be a very good choice IMHO. If you do, then you should check out the Konqueror docs to see if it does support LiveScript or a similar API. Otherwise Netscape 6 would be your best bet. Perhaps you could detail what docs you found, the steps you performed, etc. and send them to this mailing list, I'm sure that there would be enough helpful people to get to the bottom of this :) Ernst > I also tried very hard to get the Java Plugin to work with native (FreeBSD) > and Linux versions of Mozilla 5/Netscape6, but to no avail. > > I think it was with the native built version that I got enough feedback to > see what Linux *.so files it was wanting.
