I have tried everything possible I could find the fix this issue. I am trying to use the "live chat" feature on the website "car-part.com" in order to chat with auto recycling companies online, but it constantly says that java is not enabled in the web browser. I have gone through the settings and plugins with no luck. I even tried downloading java again from java.com and at the end of the download it states that "java content is disabled in web browsers". What is going on here?
