Java not working in macbook pro

Hello,

I am trying to use application which runs on Java, I have download and run in my macbook pro 2012 model, but after installing it still shows that:

''This application is designed to run on IE8 or higher version and java run time environment version 1.6 or higher.

We have detected that you are trying to run the application from a non compatible environment.

1. Download and install latest JVM from websites www.java.com or www.java.sun.com

2. Clear cache of your browser and access the application again''

I have check and it is latest version of Java.

I have uninstalled Java many times, check all the settings in safari preferences and in System Preference as well but still it shows same message, I also tried in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome in my Macbook pro but it shows same message and still i am unable to use it.

So request to if anyone have any solution of it please help on this regard.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

This is Government Website, and it is highly secured, in order to upload data and access to it, i must have working Java.

But it shows above message, and i can't operate it in my Macbook Pro.

I have checked in other windows PC, after some setting it works on that but on my Macbook Pro.

Can your support people help you determine whether this is a Java problem or a Browser-version problem? that message seems to lump the two together.

it is unlikely you are running Internet Explorer 8 or higher, since Microsoft discontinued that browser a long time ago.

However, you can get Safari to respond "I an Internet Explorer 8".

Safari > Preferences > Advanced ...

[√] Show develop menu in Menu bar

then from the develop menu, under User Agent, choose the browser you would like to be sent in response to "what Browser are you"

Yes, i have also found that, this is the problem: not having IE in my mac.

and as you are saying that Microsoft discontinued that browser for Mac Software, i think i won't be able to use that site in my Macbook Pro.

Did you try asking Safari to tell the web "I am Internet Explorer 8" ?

It is a simple process, just choose a few settings, no programming required.
