(10.3.9) Java applets not loading.

[shb666]

Hello.

I've noticed that Java applets won't load for me, all I keep getting is white boxes with the steaming coffee cup icon and "Value null (result of expression window.onload2) is not object." errors.

Java Console:

Using
10.3.9 Build 7W98
java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.4)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)


Any suggestions? I've tried that 2005_02 Security Update, didn't make any difference.

Thanks.

Thanks, but I'd already read that thread (and others on the subject), AND implemented the supposed workaround, prior to posting here.
