well folks. it seems that I have run up against this brick wall. so I started troubleshooting why hotmail.com causes my browser to crash. according to the error reporting console in webkit, hotmail.com makes several calls to javascripts that aren't included with Apple's JRE. this means that some or all of hotmail may be inaccessible at random times. I even disabled javascript altogether and found that the entire hotmail site displayed as a blank scroll area. What this means is that hotmail isn't going to be very usable for any future versions of javascript on OS X.
also, I try to hit the contact us link and the browser immediately crashes here. what oracle (owners of sun java) needs to do is enforce some standard that requires that everyone use supported calls to javascripts. I am so bloody tired of having to deal with apple centric JRE, microsoft specific java code and the version that I can get to work in linux (which is a full version).it seems to me that everyone who uses java code needs to be operating on the same standards. this would eliminate a lot of problems, especially for us OS X screen reader users. to give you guys an idea how bad it is, I can't even give site feedback because their javascript opens a frame that locks you in a loop trying to fill out the required text fields. -eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
