Greetings All -

I see a strange difference in behavior of Communicator on W95/98 PC comparing to W2K PC. The page I'm looking at in browser contains an Oracle plug-in JInitiator.

On W95/98 in case the plug-in is not installed on the PC, the browser shows me the "blue-bug" in the middle of page with the label "Click here

to get the plug-in".

On W2K though, I don't see anything. It is just the blank page and the "Document: Done" in the status bar. It looks like the browser didn't notice
that the plug-in is not installed at all.

Has anybody seen something like i described here? Would be nice to know how to overcome it. So please share your experience on the subject.

Thank you!
