I just got on board the new safari. Very nice, but a couple quick questions.

1) not too happy with auto-fill. I've been on a couple of contact forms which the auto-fill says, "this page has no form to complete" In explorer never had problem with any contact forms, any ideas?

also, with auto fill, when I try to use edit other form etc, they don't seem to have a feature to put new passwords, or phrases in, correct?

finally, about auto-fill, it does not seem to be working at all for remembering passwords or usernames, am I missing something?

2) Does safari have equivalent of the "add to scrapbook" that explorer has? I really like this feature. It take a quick picture of your web-page and stores it in a scrapbook folder. You don't then need to print out the page.

3) can't find cookies.

Thanks!!!!!

1) Yes, Safari's Auto-Fill is quite incomplete. Nothing to do about that, but send feedback to Apple by clicking the "Bug" icon in Safari.

2) Nope. Internet Explorer is the only browser (that I know of) that has this.

3) Safari menu > Preferences. Click on Security.

You need to turn this on in the Auto Fill pref pane, it is off by default.
