Enabling Java-script not working

I was trying to watch a show on Slice.ca and it kept telling me that my java-script wasn't enabled and I was unable to watch the video. a few days before I was able to use the site perfectly, but after downloading the new Java update it wont work. When I go into my preferences on safari, it says that java-scrip is in fact enabled, so I'm not sure why the website isn't recognizing that it is enabled. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Java and Javascript are quite different. The recent security patch from recent involves Java. Not Javascript.


Older video players tend to expect Javascript or Adobe Flash Player.


The former is enabled via Safari's preferences, while the latter requires a download (and regular updates) from the Adobe web site.


The Slice.ca Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) indicates you need a current Flash Player installed, and you need Javascript enabled. You should not need Java enabled.
