The new Macbook Air that I am typing this on has Java already installed. You should not have had to install it. Typing "java -version" at the command line in a terminal shows that it is version 1.6.0_26


What browser were you using to access the web site? Safari?


Have you checked that you have Java and Javascript enabled in your browser? (Go to the Security tab in Safari->Preferences)
