According to a message from opera on their linux website forum, the netscape Java plugin doesn't work properly (according to opera) and the other browsers use built-in java support to work around this (including netscape -- go figure). It also says that opera will probably also move towards built-in java support in the future, and that there is no guarenteed way to get java to work with opera right now. mike (mouse gesture and open-in-background feature addict) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
