Using my bad old internet Explorer I can click on a website called
Personal World Clock and get a nice image of a clock showing the precise
time in several areas of the world. Using Mozilla, I CANT ! Instead I get
a message telling me to click on a small icon to get a "plug in," -whatever
that is, - in order to be able to view the clock. This suggest to me that
I need another program which: A. Exists. and B. I must down load and
THEN I'll be able to view the clock. Not so ! After clicking on the
small icon as directed, I get ANOTHER message saying That Mozilla is
searching to see if such a plug in even exists. But Mozilla never comes
back with an answer to that question, leaving me to wonder if there IS an
answer. In any case the World Clock page is blank ! Any Thoughts ?

Forgive me, but my mind reading is not working too well tonight.
Perhaps you would provide a useful link to the web site in question?

I'd be willing to bet anything you need Java. Available from Sun

It is a Java applet. You need to install the Sun Java Runtime
Environment. It is recommended that you UNinstall old versions first.
Look for Java in Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html - is the whole download page

The following link is the actual file to download and install:
http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/...actionId=noreg

MS IE used to include a Java Runtime (called MS Virtual Machine).
That's why it works in IE and not in Moz.

Works fine here with FireFox-1.0. Do you have Java installed?
