GetHyperlinkAtCursor() issue

[J. Tyler]

We have created our own hyperlink dialog and are calling GetHyperlinkAtCursor().   This method works in Java 1.6.0_14 but not in 1.4.2_03 from Firefox 3.0.13 on Vista.  Is there a workaround other than requiring users to upgrade Java?

In 1.4.2_03 the javascript execution stops without an error.  The Java console just reports a Returned Thread.

OK - I believe I figured out the issue.

I changed my code to call the function on the applet and it worked.  
This works using Safari, FF and IE using 1.4 JRE:
   document.getElementById('body_elj').getHyperlinkAtCursor()
This only worked in FF and IE using the 1.6 JRE:
   document.getElementById('body_js').GetHyperlinkAtCursor()

That sounds like a bug that Mozilla fixed in the 3.5.1 release.  You
shouldn't need to upgrade Java, just FireFox :)
