There have been many happy replies in other threads saying success as they can now see the words on the right side of the test java screen posted by gregr so the plugin must now be working. Sorry, that may not be so.
I don't want to rain on anyones parade but the main compatability problem with Java is not simply viewing the page, as many of us here think, the big problem is the text link not working when clicked-on. Instead an exclamation mark in a small yellow java script icon appears in the lower left corner and nothing happens, saying "error on page."
I run into this zillions of times on many websites and for several yrs., though lately with Windows XP and IE6 the java problems are much worse than in the past.
Hope this does not happen when the auction goes live. I can also see the words but still have little confidence in it really working in real-time.
