Problem with Safari and Java

Question

Hi there,
I need help with the above mentioned problem. At first, here is my configuration:
iMac G5 17", Mac OS X 10.3.9, QuickTime 7.0.1 PRO, Safari 1.3 (v312), Java - here is the 'answer of the Terminal app - java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.4)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode).
My problem is, that on some sites (e.g. http://home.eduhi.at/member/gru/) I see those coffee cups with the red exclamation marks instead of some java media content.
On the site http://www.bodo.com/javame.htm I could verify that Safari is able to handle JavaScript, but in the line for Java Applets I again see this small coffee cup with red exclamation mark.
In the Safari preferences i have all Java check-boxes marked.
Please, can anyone help me, because I hate it to be forced to use this @&%§# IE from M$ all the time I want to go to sites with Java Applets.

Well... good; when we help each other here, we can't
assume that any step has been taken, unless it's been
specifically identified. I'm sure that makes it all
the more frustrating, since you are a very experienced
user.
Now, then:
-- since you have reinstalled the Java Update; and
-- if you open your Help >> Installed Plug-ins, and
scroll down the list and find these three items:
Java Plug-in for Cocoa -- Java 1.4.2 "JavaPluginCocoa.bundle"
Java Plug-in (CFM) -- Java 1.3.1 "Java Applet Plugin Enabler"
Java Plug-in "Java Applet.plugin"
-- and if Enable Java and Enable JavaScript are checked in:
Safari >> Preferences >> Security, as you say they are; and
-- if Enable Plug-ins is checked in the same section,
as you say it is; and
-- you have repaired permissions, as you say you have; and
-- you have emptied your Cache; and
-- your Icons folder ({YOU}/Library/Safari/Icons) has been
trashed if it is over 750 KB; and
-- you have Quit, then relaunched Safari after all this,
as you say you have; and
-- your {YOU}/Library/Caches and {YOU}/Library/Caches/Safari
folders have read and write permissions
...then, I'm currently at a loss as to what else to suggest.
