    What's with the Java?

    How come every time I log onto ML it tells me I need to install Java. I've had these popup on other sites, and even downloading what they tell me to doesn't get rid of them. Is it the spammers, the ads or what?

    What page(s) are you getting this on?
    The site does use Javascript in some of it's code...

    It's the forums home page. The first time I sign in it pops up going on about my computer not having Java enabled and gives me a download link. I click on that and it downloads but then tells me that the java software is not sufficiant for this page. If I click on cancel the page loads perfectly, but it still comes up again the next time I visit movielist.

    I can live with it, it's just that it only started happening a few days ago here.

    i guess u have windows XP SP1 and MS removed JAVA coz they got sued by SUn Microsysteme...

    anyway.. the javas used in this site are actually some if the banners ads .. also the reason i get the activex pop ups...

    to install JAVA .. do this..

    Jedi Master has a similar problem...

    http://www.movie-list.com/forum/show...&threadid=3552

    here was my reply to him..

    the reason this is not available in MS sites is that they got sued by Java Softaware about it and had to remove all java related software...

    u can dl java VM from java themselves..

    Just so you know... the Javascript we use on the site is actually for your benefit. It reads your screen size and then sends the appropriate ad (either a small one or large one) when the webpage loads.
    Makes the site look a little cleaner.
