Hello,

I'm running WebMO on a GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 6.0.6) machine and interacting with it using:

Firefox 1.5.0.10
Java(TM) Plug-in Blackdown-1.4.2-02 (from Sun)

My problem is that many buttons don't work. For example: in Build Molecule "Open Editor" has no effect. But "Import Molecule" does open a dialogue, though the molecule is not imported actually.

I have managed to open the editor from the link at the left side, but I have not been able to reproduce it.

The behaviour observed is the same when I use your Demo Server.

Is there a way to solve these problems?

Thanking you in advance,

Miguel

Hi again,

Thanks to JR Schmidt, I found out what the problem was:

It seems that the Blackdown Java Plug-in is not useful for the complex javascript-to-java communication that WebMO needs. So, in my case, removing Blackdown Java and replacing it by the "official" Sun Java (also available via apt-get in Ubuntu) solved the problem. I have done some testing and so far I haven't found any problem.

Cheers,

Miguel
