Everytime I try to load www.tsa.gov Safari will beachball and then crash. What's the big idea?

happens to me too.

I guess Safari's Hyper Transport must be too secure even for the TSA!

</lame joke>

If you use the latest nightly of webkit it does not crash. But the sidebar does not get positioned where the creators of this sad site intended it to be.

http://www.webkit.org
http://nightly.webkit.org

So, it should be fixed in the next big release of Safari.

And here I thought the TSA was supposed to be preventing crashes, not causing them.

"This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!"

Although none of the errors would cause Safari to crash. Not sure what's throwing Safari into a death spin.

for websites that don't work correctly in Safari, just use another browser. Plain and simple. Works fine in FireFox, btw....

Remember when the internet was still new? We all had to have and use -BOTH- MSiE and Netscape for websites that were developed with only one of each browsers in mind. Guess what....... it's happening again........ and you know..... I TOLD YOU SO!!!!! (oh wait, that was some other dude, never mind!)

Don't bully me, I got an Uzi... HOO-HAH!

Well duh. But no website should be able to CRASH a browser. That is what we are pointing out.
