Trying to get the satellite images from the NOAA website at

I keep getting errors about java not being enabled, and under Edit-Prefs,
I see both javascript and java enabled.
I'm using the Ubuntu-included FireFox, which
is 3.0.1

Check the package installer and see if they have sun-java or some such
name. I have run across several packages for some kind of java and the
sun version of java is the only one that ever worked for me.
Same deal - I gotta have SOMETHING set wrong... it still comes back to saying
that java isn't enabled.
Also, when I go to
www.wagerline.com, the mouse-over drop-downs aren't visible,
as they are overlaid by the flash anim.
I used the adobe version - should I have selected on of the others instead?
And no, I'm not a gambler - I use it as a ref to see how my boys are getting judged
(Miami vs Florida).

I use Debian Linux which Ubuntu is based on but there can be some real
differences in places. There is a Ubuntu user mailing list where you
can get the best help/info ever for that distribution. I have been
using Debian for close to 20 years now and because of my age it is kinda
like a comedian once remarked "I don't believe I know all I understand
about that." :-) I guess there have been too many changes over the
years for an old man to keep up with them all.
