Using Debian Etch and iceweasel, I have a problem with my banking
site. Some of the search options do not appear. When I hover over
buttons, the status line says: javascript:void(0)

Then contact the people responsible for such an awful site.

I have tried installing several java packages from synaptic, e.g.,
java-common, but these don't seem to work. I have the enable
javascript boxes checked on Iceweasel, but can't get it to work.

Is there a special java download I need to add?

Nothing, since JAVA has nothing to do with JavaScript. The latter is directly
embedded into the rendering engine of your browser so if something does not work
you either misconfigured your browser or the specific site just sucks.


Regards, Mathias

Agreed. Java and Javascript are completely and entirely different
things, so no package will help you.

It is likely that the web site designers are of poor quality and created
the site for IE.

We can know for sure if you can post a link to the web site you are
having problems with.

Just to make sure, is javacript enabled in your browser
(Edit->Prefs->Content->Enable Javascript)? Is a plugin (e.g. Noscript)
blocking it?
