[nfbcs] Java problem.

[Aaron Cannon]

Have you gotten this message on any other site?  I know it's not a
great solution, but if this was happening to me, I'd probably to
reinstall the browser, or run a repair on it.  Not sure exactly how
you would go about that (it would depend on your browser), but Google
should provide some options.

On the other hand, if that was the only site it was happening on, I'd
assume that it was just the site, and try it in Firefox.

Also, keep in mind that you may be reading some text that is not
actually visible on the screen, and so may not be accurate.
Sometimes, depending on how the web designer hides the text, it may
still be visible to screen readers.  I've heard terrible things about
Twitter.com and accessibility, so this is entirely possible.
