I have trouble with my Safari browser. I have been using my two buttons on the side of my Micros Intelli Explorer Mouse (http://www.soefkenijn.com/oscommerce...orer%204.0.jpg) to go back and forward in Firefox. But I have now changed to Safari and cant get the two buttons to do the same, they don't respond. I have installed drivers and USB Overdrive X, and set the fourth and fifth button to perform command+option+8 (and 9), but still, it will not work in Safari, but it does i Firefox. Does anybody know what to do?

Safari may not use the same key commands. Also, sometimes keyboard-based back and forward breaks, such as when you're in a text field, because the same key commands then serve to navigate within the text box.

You have them set to ⌘[ and ⌘], right?

Hrm, that’s really strange… setting those key combos works fine on my Logitech mouse in both Safari and Firefox. Dunno what to tell you, except maybe try Delete and Shift+Delete (those also correspond to Back and Forward for Safari).

Still not working.
http://home.no/ernieball/mouse.jpg Here is how it looks.
It's not possible to make use the delete-button as a keystroke in Overdrive X.
Seems like I have to change browser.
