Our current solution is to have an error page, asking the user to instead download Netscape's Communicator. This does not make us comfortable by any means. I have seen other sites that take the other tact, asking me to use Windows when I view them from my PowerMac G3/350 at work. This could be the next step should Apple's MRJ continue to flounder. Hold on there, buster! IE 4.5 still gives users the choice to use the Microsoft Virtual Machine for its Java, it's right in Preferences under the Java tab. Wouldn't it be easier to tell your users to simply switch to it instead? No need to force them to use Netscape to get the job done. I'm with Adam though, I have far more use for good, compatible Javascript than Java, and Netscape suits me just fine.
