java-aware browser

[bob]

When I attempt to open a site to download documents I get
a error message saying you need a Java-aware browser to
veiw thw web tools.

What does this mean? Is there a specific version of java
I need to install.

Thanks

XP does not include a Java Virtual Machine for the browser (though
some manufacturers will put one in). You can get the latest one for
free from http://java.sun.com/getjava

As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft was not allowed to provide its own Java Virtual
Machine to Windows XP users. You can get almost the same
functionality by downloading Sun's version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html. If you want the wider website
compatibility of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, one of which is here:
http://www.virtualmachine.tk/.

If you do choose the Microsoft JVM, be sure to apply a needed
security patch.
