Apparently you didn't even bother to read the reply that you got from 
Jon Bloom that you posted on the Ham-Mac list. What part of "there is 
no Java on the ARRL Web site" didn't you understand?

Jon Bloom said:

Again, JavaSCRIPT has nothing to do with Java, and nothing to do with 
the version of MRJ that you happen to have loaded.

Perhaps you and the others that are having problems with the ARRL web 
site should take a look at your own systems for conflicts or corrupt 
software that may be causing your problems locally.

This juvenile campaign against Microsoft and the League has very 
little substance and no real reason to be burning our bandwidth.
