Hi,

I have Safari 1.24 running on 2 Macs under OS 10.3.7, but I find that there are some things that just don't work, although they seem to work on Safari on other Mac's I've seen. Mostly these have to do with Javascript and Frames. I have tried fiddling with preferences, settings, etc, but I get the precise same behavior on both my systems (ie, the scripts.frames don't function). Yet I have seen Macs on which the same pages load correctly.

Any ideas what to do about this? Is there some way to reinstall Safari or to debug what's wrong with my systems?

Thanks in advance,

Nike

it'd help if you provided a URL for a page that works on other macs, but not on yours and if you described exactly what didn't work on your Mac.

Right!

For example,

http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/Number2005/

does not work -- the frames don't display.

Various sites where hovering a mouse over a link brings up a menu don't work either:

www.dpreview.com

Try hovering the cursor above "formums" on the left. A list appears on Windows boxes and on at least one other Mac I tried, but not on mine, apparently.

I ran into similar problems with safari which I was unable to fix consistently, and finally started using firefox. so far the java and xhtml support is better, imho.
