So for a few days I hadn't visited Amazon. But today I do, and upon opening page describing a book a javascript alert (in Safari) announces "Javascript Type Error - Null value".
Okay, so I wonder what I'm missing. There's a big white space....
Wait a minute, they're talking about having Wikis...
Something to do with that?
Maybe it works in IE 5.2? Nah... no error... they didn't even TRY it with IE 5 Mac.
Firefox? Ah, yes... It's possible to contribute to a wiki.

So... anybody's guess what Amazon's doing with Wikis/Javascript that Safari (2.01) can't handle?

Same problem on WebKit built from source. Obviously, Amazon is doing something funny.

And I believe that we're the beta testers?

Yeah, I don't know what their problem is but it's very annoying. I have to turn off JS when browsing books
