Nice tip!  Thanks.  However, I'm also using Mozilla 1.6 with java plugin
1.4.2, and it won't work here.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong - I just 
entered the javascript line in the URL input field as I would with any 
other URL.

Help/About Plug-ins yields

    File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
    Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2

Any ideas on where to look or how to test my java setup?  I don't seem to 
get java errors when browsing sites, and have installed various helper 
applets such as the Google toolbar with success.
