I have both editions of Java on my Win 7 x64 system and there is no
problem with Java working in either one of them. One of the examples is
the NOAA weather maps. You can display either a single radar picture or
you can select to loop the past hour. The loop is a java function and
it works on both 32-bit & 64-bit editions of both IE8 and Firefox - no
problems!

Bobby,
In case of doubt, this is Sun's official Java test page:

Carlos,
For a second confirmation that Java does work in Windows 7 x64 in both
32-bit & 64-bit in both IE* 32-bit & 64-bit and Firefox 32-bit & 64-bit
I went to your link and it tells me that all four browsers have Java
functioning properly.

I also am able to loop my local weather radar, which is a Java app, in
both 32-bit & 64-bit.

Thanks,

Bobby

I am afraid you probably mix java and javascripts.
Javascripts are known to allow such animations, no need for java here.

Furthermore, I intentionally left javascript in my FF allowed,
but I denied using java.
Then I went to NOAA to see so radar namimations.
As expected, animations worked, based on javascripts, not on java.
Java for it is a cannon for sparrows.

The best depends on how the best is defined.

If you don't have Java, then you won't play javascripts.

Just as if you don't have an operating system on your computer, you
won't run any programs!

What is Java?

Java allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world,
calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D, just to name a
few. It's also integral to the intranet applications and other
e-business solutions that are the foundation of corporate computing.

So, then you will be probably surprised
that java and javascript have not much common
but similar name and source code syntax.

Internet browsers or windows scripting hosts
do not need java installed, not even are using java.

Javascript are definitely not scripts written for java,
but web scriting language invented by Netscape AFAIK.

(Sun) Java is running java applets,
platform independent intermediate code,
what is partly compiled, partly interpreted.

Obviously you are totally oblivious to what is plainly posted on the Sun
Java web site. Java is a Language Environment which runs Java scripts.

Read
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...efinition.html
and then tell Sun they don't know what they're talking about!

I'm surprised that you could dream up such garbage! I can guarantee
that your web browser will NOT execute any Java applications, also known
as scripts, if you don't have the Java Runtime Environment installed on
your computer.

Wake up and smell the coffee!

It explains what a browser plug-in is.

Go to:
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?r...01111&loop=yes

You will notice that for the radar images to cycle through Java is
started. If you don't have Java on you computer it will tell you that
you need to install Java.
