An update on trying the site on F7, and F8.
On F7 the site works ok, and the jigsaws load, and play.

Moving on to F8.
The bubbles test works ok with icedtea, but loading the jigsaw applet times
out. Doh. May I suggest that you see what java stuff is showing up in
about:plugins in Firefox. You say that you have both icedtea, and Sun's jre
1.6 installed on F8. If Firefox is using Sun's jre, you should see something
like the above output for my F7 install. If Firefox on your F8 is still using
icedtea, you'll see something like the output below.
btw. I only have icedtea installed on F8.

Now of course, as you've installed Sun's jre along with icedtea, both may be
showing in Firefox's about:plugins, and as /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins shows a
link named libjavaplugin.so pointing to /etc/alternatives/libjavaplugin.so in
my case, you may find that alternatives has the icedtea as the default java
version to be used, and Sun's jre is being ignored, which would explain why
the jigzone site isn't working.
I havn't messed with alternatives, but see man:alternatives in a webbrowser.
Please post back, as it would be nice to resolve the problem.
Nigel.
