Jaunty, Java and map24

Hi, 

Now my working system is Hardy...and I will not migrate, at least not until I 
can get thigs straight on Jaunty (or try Karmic)
On Hardy I succeded (don't ask me how) to get both konqueror and firefox3.0 
displaying that I have the latest java installed (to be honest they made a 
java6 revision 15 some days ago, so it's not true anymore). They also both can 
display "Map24" (for me <http://www.ch.map24.com/> in a separate window.

On Jaunty I installed firefox3.0 and 3.5, and many attemps with java from the 
repos or downloaded as self extracting. I have the bin, jre and plugins.
I belive I tried everything, make the symbolic links, allow popup windows, 
make one or the other viewer the one by default in java ControlPanel, make 
sure 'java -version' was the one intended...

Error messages were confusing, 'applet not initialised', or pointing to java 
errors (but it works in Hardy), or to libraries not found (where does it 
expect them? or how to add a library parth?)

With Konqueror, <http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp>  always finds 
java but map24 blocks on '...receiving 17.6 Ko from www.ch.map24.com...'
Firefox3.0 also finds java but map24 blocks on '...wait for applet to be 
loaded' unless it is made the default viewer, then it displays map24, but not 
on separate window.
Firefox3.5 could never see java and map24 displays,  but not on separate 
window.


Someone already tried it ans succeded?
Any pointer?

Thanks for helping.


Perry
