Yahoo has made some kind of change in the presentation of Maps such that Safari fails to work correctly.

Safari will display the first map presented by Yahoo, but the zoom, view level and directional button don't work.

Click and a URL is followed, but no display change on the screen.

If you right click to open in new tab, it zooms?

It's high time that Safari be more compliant to common useage on the net.

And yes, of course, grubby old IE works just fine thank you.

Time to grow up Safari team. YOU can't change the behavior of the web.

Please use the bug reporting feature in the Safari application menu.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

You're right!

The first map loads OK, but none of the zoom or direction buttons work. Weird.

So it's Apple's fault if Yahoo changes the code to some none compliant junk?

It's not Apple's fault if a big site makes stupid coding decisions, but it is Apple's problem. If Mac users can't access the sites they need to, it's more of a concern for Apple than the site. All they have to worry about is pleasing 90 something percent of the market (Windows), so they have the luxry to not care about Mac users using a proprietary browser. Especially in the case of free sites, there's not much of an incentive to support us.
