I have to make this quick. I need to head out in a few minutes.
Basically I am having this problem.
*Java worked on some sites and not others, they kept telling me I needed to install the plug in.
*I installed the plug in
*Now instead of telling me that I need to install it I get a blank area where the java is suppose to be.
I vaguely remember reading something here with someone else having the same problem. I think it was a conflict of some sort?
If anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this please let me know.
I have the same thing happening in Chrome and Firefox.

same for me - installing the sun version of java works fine:-
Index of /factory/repo/non-oss/suse
the 64 bit version works fine too
This is a good site to test your java install:-

Same problem here. But the HOWTO is a little bit too short for me (SuSE-11.1 32bit). If I understand it right, I have to
uninstall java-1_6_0-openjdk
uninstall java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin
install java-1_6_0-sun
install java-1_6_0-sun-plugin
Anything else? I have not updated java yet. Shall I install the new versions from the update repo straight away?
Once you install java from sun all you have to do is create the symlink into the browser-plugin directory to let your web browsers use the java plugin. For Konqueror you have to direct konqueror to the java.bin file.
For 32bit:
Installing 32-bit Java the Yast way - openSUSE Forums
If the directory in my how-to doesn’t exist, scroll down further to see where you can find the symlink location.
For konqueror just point it to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/jre/bin/java
Take Care,

Thanks for the replies everyone. I just got home and I will be working on this shortly. I will post the results.
I became a bit busy and forgot to reply to this thread. Yeah one of those weeks. Anyways I followed the instructions here, very easy, and Java works great now.
Thank you.
Good to know we all helped out:)
