Or simply load PREFBAR.XPI which add a selection window to select what you want Mozilla to look like
- Netscape, IE, Mozilla etc. on which OS - XP, 98, OS/2.

Also of interest ....

Using Mozilla 1.4 with Prefbar, no error messages but the browser hangs up.

Using Opera/2 however gets a lot further until it complains about the JAVA version - looking at the FAQs
- the following explanation is given:

===========================
 Question 1 - Why do I need to change to Sun Java?
Internet Banking currently uses the Microsoft Virtual Machine (Microsoft VM) java applet as its
interface.
As part of a settlement agreement with Sun Microsystems, Microsoft will no longer be authorised by Sun
to have the ability to support the Microsoft VM and recommends that customers do not continue to use
Microsoft VM in production environments.
To make your transition easier we have entered into an agreement with Sun Microsystems inc. to provide
their version of Java VM. You can download the Java software from our downloads page.
Refer to Microsoft or Sun for further information.

=========================

I guess this could be part of the problem - perhaps St George should code in non-supplier specific
Javascript ?? After all that the whole concept of JAVA !!

Cheers/2

Ed.

It's OK I found it at Mozilla dot org.
Installed direct from there and I now have it running.
St. George demo didn't like me being IE6 and XP but it accepted me as Moz 1.0
and Win 98 and the demo worked.
(Now if could just use their free money to pay my real bills).
Regards,

Michael

PrefBar is at <http://prefbar.mozdev dot org>.  Most of the available
extensions for Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird are listed at
<http://extensionroom.mozdev dot org>.  There are other extensions to
change the User Agent.  I used UABar <http://uabar.mozdev dot org> for
along while, even though I also use PrefBar.  For Firefox, I'm deciding
between "User Agent Toolbar Widget" (which is an offshoot of UABar) and
"User Agent Switcher".

Where is it on Mozilla dot org?

Can you give me the string for the browser id that worked.  What version of java and browser are you using.
