JRE for Safari?

Question

JRE for Safari?

Hello all,

I'm trying to find the JRE for Safari. Some of the webpages that I've visited require that a JRE
be installed for them to work correctly. Any suggestions?

My system is using Safari Version 5.0.2 (6533.18.5). And all recent updates have been installed.

Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2 version 1.0

Thanks.

15in. PowerBook G4, 15in. MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4), Safari Version 5.0.2 (6533.18.5)

Hi,

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.

Make sure: Enable Java is selected.

Carolyn,

Thanks. I just checked. Both Java and JavaScript were enabled.

Anything else that I should check?

Open Java Preferences (Applications/Utilities)

Under the Network tab click: Delete Files then click: Restore Defaults

Under the General tab make sure applets are running, "Within the browser process"..

Relaunch Safari.

*If you still have problems, please post a link where you are having this problem.*

Carolyn,

Well, I gave that a try, and it still complains.

Unfortunately, I can't pass page address along. It belongs to a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) from American Megatrends, that allows for remote access, that is located on an network, that is not connected to the Internet. And it's the Console Redirection pieces that's not working. I've verified that it does support OS X.

the message that I'm getting is: "Please install Java Runtime Environment before you choose the view."

HI,

Try another browser. If you don't have Firefox installed, go here.

Carolyn, Thanks for the help.

No luck with Firefox either. And I'm able to connect to another systems remote console. So, I don't think that it's problem with the mac. Also, It works fine from a Windows system, who I think is there primary audience. It may just be an issue with the BMC's implementation for the mac.

Could be just a "Windows" thing.......

Just for kicks, go to Safari / Preferences - Advanced. Enable the Develop menu.

Click Develop in the menu / User Agent and try IE 8, 7, or 6, for that site.
