Java Forum / Security / March 2006Closing Java window crashes all open browser windows
Looking over these two newsgroups (including the Google search views), they don't seem to be the best places to ask, so I think the primary question should be "Where should I ask this question?" I have seen some reports of very similar symptoms, but they were in Linux and Firefox-specific. I'm running under Windows, and I've seen the same problem for both Firefox and IE, so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the JVM... The problem itself is pretty simple to describe. Many Java programs open up a new window for their interactions. When that window is closed, it sometimes causes all of the open browser windows to close, too. No error messages, and nothing recorded in the system events. The Java should be up to date, and the console shows Version 1.5.0, build 1.5.0_06-b05. > Looking over these two newsgroups (including the Google search views), > they don't seem to be the best places to ask, so I think the primary [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > should be up to date, and the console shows Version 1.5.0, build > 1.5.0_06-b05. I have a similar problems with the same distribution: 1. When opening Java applets, I get two error messages. If I dismiss both, the applet opens correctly. 2. When closing Firefox, I get an error message every time. Can anyone identify the problem or point to the correct place to post the message?

As I pointed out to Shannon, the best places to ask for help are: Java: comp.lang.java.help JavaScript: comp.lang.javascript In your case, that would be the first one (because of the applets).

Or do you mean a new window opened by JavaScript? Although similar in name, these are different, and thus the solution for both will be different. If it's Java, you might want to post this question to comp.lang.java.help - if it's JavaScript, check out comp.lang.javascript. When in doubt, try them both :) Which version of FireFox and IE are you running, by the way? I remember having problems with FireFox 1.0x some time ago...

I know that JavaScript was terribly misnamed and is essentially an interpreted scripting language and fundamentally has no relationship to Java. I am sure that the problem is in the JVM. I know you're trying to be friendly and helpful, but you should avoid projecting your ignorance on other people. There are a number of problems these years that have made the newsgroups almost useless. The problem of overly friendly, well-intentioned, but content-free posts is actually one of the minor ones. If you have nothing to say, you'd do as well to say nothing. Anyway, my current hypothesis is that it was a problem with the latest Sun upgrade. Uninstalling all the increments of Java and doing a fresh install of the 'latest and greatest' seems to have cured it.  SignatureThe truth alone will not make you free. However, it is one of the prerequisites. Unless you know the truths underlying your options, you cannot choose in freedom, whether you're buying shaving cream or a war. Busheviks are simply slaves to BushCo's lies. Trolls fed to "The vile spewers of mindless blather thread" and/or ploinked. > Actually, I was a fairly accomplished professional programmer, and though > I've moved beyond programming for a living, I still dabble, including some [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > of the minor ones.

To be fair, we get a lot of people confusing JavaScript with Java, and since we've never met you before, we didn't know if you were one of them. It's usually easiest to get the JavaScript issue out of the way first, because to do otherwise takes a lot of time and energy for everyone involved, e.g.: A: Try the following Java code. B: It didn't work. A: What do you mean it didn't work? You got compile errors, or runtime exceptions or what? B: What's a compiler. A: You know, you type 'javac' to compile it. B: I don't type 'javac'. A: Oh, are you using an IDE then? B: What's an IDE? A: Are you using a tool to write your Java programs? B: Yeah. A: What's it called? B: TextPad. A: <Sigh>, okay, why don't you post your whole code, and I can try to see what the problem is? B: <post some code> A: I said post your WHOLE code. B: That IS my whole code! A: There's no variable declarations. You're using variables without declaring them. There's no way this would compile. B: I know it doesn't work! That's why I'm posting here in the first place! A: Wait... is this Java... or JavaScript? B: What's the difference? A: Is this code inside of an HTML file? B: Yes. A: You're in the wrong newsgroup. - Oliver > <snip> > I know you're trying to be friendly and helpful, but you should avoid > projecting your ignorance on other people.

I actually had something to say, therefor I said it. Granted, you may be a programmer, but there are a lot of people out there who think *this* is the ideal group to post their Javascript questions, and therefor I (incorrectly) assumed that you were one of them. To call that "ignorant" I would call a bit harsh, to say the least. Anyway, next time I'll keep that in mind, and make sure only to answer your Difficult Questions (tm).
