Java does not list any sites in the site exception list, just an exclamation mark, so how do I add them?

I want to use an online drum machine ("monkey machine") that requires Java, so I installed Java, apparently correctly.

However, when I try to use the monkey machine drummer, it still demands Java, but Java's security mechanism won't allow me to add the monkey site (or any other site). All I get is an exclamation mark in the box where the list of site exceptions should be. This is in the control panel,under the security tab, after hitting "add" to add sites...

So.....

How to add in the sites?

Thanks!

¡Hola!

Does this http://java.com/en/download/exception_sitelist.jsp solve your question regarding Java?

The attached image shows what I see.

My problem is that I can't add anything into that box with the exclamation mark. This is so whether I try to cut and paste or retype the URL.

Thanks!

You've got to click the "Add" button, please follow the instructions at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deploy/exception_site_list.html#IEDDHIAB step by step.

Let us know if that solves your issue.

I followed those directions...

I'm getting SOMEWHERE with this, as you can see by the attached picture...

Apparently adding the "http://" for some reason is necessary....

If so, then why does JAVA both demand it and say it's a risk??? That makes zero sense!

Am I on the right track?

Thanks...

Hey!!!

IT WORKED!!!!  :)

They key is apparently:

1. TYPING the URL, not copying and pasting it, because...

2. You MUST add the "HTTP://"

Why that is so, I don't know.

But it worked!

THANK YOU TO ALL!

This is a VERY helpful forum!  :)
