I can't seem to get plug-ins to work on release builds on win95. Perhaps this is a known issue ... making note of it here anyway. What I *do* see in place of a plug-in is a rectangle that never repaints where the plug-in should be.

while i won't guarantee that everything is well, they will now work as well in release mode as they do in debug mode.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
plug-ins don't appear to be working, so i'm reopening this bug. i just see the gray rectangle with the "OBJECT" in it. i tried this with the 11/30 build on NT and win95.

There shouldn't be any difference between the debug and release builds. ernie - are you still having problems? Are you sure you have the right plugins installed?

Summary: Plug-ins don't work in release build → navigator.mimetypes array does not work
When I load this page, I don't get a gray rect - I get a jpg picture of "Chef". If you look at the page source, you can see that they use JS to check the mimetype array and determine if the Macromedia Flash plugin is installed. I do not believe that this capability is currently working in Raptor. Patrick - are you the guy who's supposed to make this work with the DOM?
Maybe. I'll look into this next week.

This should really be merged with bug #4592, since the same infrastructure has to be added to fix both. Vidur would you also add readonly attribute HTMLCollection mimeTypes; to mozilla/dom/public/idl/base/Navigator.idl, and add stub implementations of GetMimeTypes() and GetPlugins() to NavigatorImpl?
*** Bug 1015 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've implemented the feature for the most part, but with the potential for duplicate entries in the mimeTypes array. We'll need to add additional methods to nsIPluginHost to determine the active plugin for a particular MIME type.

Fixed bug, please test.
As soon as I visit the site "http://www.comedycentral.com/southpark/" apprunner crashes. Details: Product: seamonkey [apprunner] Build: 04/21/99 Platform: PC OS: Windows-95. Apprunner is crashing.

Actually somehow this bug was assigned to me, and since I'm not a developer I need to reassign it to development team. Since its Dom Level-0, assgining it to Vidur.
Assignee: vidur → beard
Oh, I think it should be assigned to Patrick Beard, since it was assigned to same before. Sorry Vidur.

This appears to be the same problem as bug # 1223. The problem occurs in the frame document, "http://www.comedycentral.com/southpark/index2.tin" which has the JavaScript function, MM_preloadImages(), which has has a "with(document)" statement in it. Vidur asks that we don't duplicate this bug, but when you fix 1223, this bug should be fixed as well.

This page no longer refers to navigator.mimeTypes, so I can't verify fix from here. I have simple tests that do show that the mimeTypes and plugins arrays are working. Here's the simple test case that works for me. <HTML> <HEAD> <SCRIPT> function println(str) { document.write(str + "<BR>"); } var plugins = navigator.plugins; var len = plugins.length; println("plugins.length = " + len); if (len > 0) { var p = plugins[0]; println("p.name = " + p.name); len = p.length; println("p.length = " + len); if (len > 0) { var m = p["application/x-java-applet"]; println("m.type = " + m.type); if (m.enabledPlugin == p) println("m.enabledPlugin == p"); } } var mimeTypes = navigator.mimeTypes; len = mimeTypes.length; println("mimeTypes.length = " + len); </SCRIPT> </HEAD> </HTML>
