I following java script in my xhtml : <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- if(navigator.javaEnabled()) { window.alert('java Enabled'); document.location.href = "login_page.do"; } else{ window.alert('java not Enabled'); } //--> </script> In firefox 4.0.1 navigator.javaEnabled() always returns false even if Enable Javascript is checked under tools ->options->content. How can I make it to return true. Is there any other setting or plugins that I need to make it return true?Please advise. Thanks Mahesh
