Auto complete doesn't work in Yahoo mail anymore. Why?

It used to be if I typed in my son's name,his email address would pop up, because he's in my email address book. Now it doesn't. Also, recently I disabled Java in Internet Explorer because the US Dept of Defense said it was a good idea. I suspect disabling Java disabled auto-complete. Is there a way around this? Should I re-enable Java? is Yahoo working on a version that doesn't use Java?

    09:22 AM PST: Unable to Choose Contacts When Composing Message

    Some customers may be unable to choose contacts from the “Choose Contacts” dialog or via the autocompletion feature in their Yahoo! Business Mail.

    A workaround is to go directly to the “Contacts” tab, select the contacts you wish to address the new message to and click “Compose Message”.

    We are aware of this issue and working to resolve it as quickly as possible."
