Still Broken

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Sites that invoke Java still cannot function with Safari. Now getting an invalid verification message instead of just a grey screen. On the other hand - Netscape and FireFox appear to work just fine. Sometimes, it seems difficult to justify the effort it takes for some of the Apple core software. Fix one thing, break two others. Oh well ............

Still Broken? - Eric M

Maybe it's something else? I've found Safari 3.x to work very well with any Java thrown at it. Much better than 2.x. No complaints from me.

Would you mind giving some examples of where 3.1.1 fails you?

Precisely. A broad, sweeping generalization like "sites that invoke Java" is easily dismissed, or proved incorrect by the fact that many people use Java in Safari on a daily basis with no problems. Indeed, I highly doubt that EVERY site you go to with Java in it doesn't work. Identify actual replicatable examples and provide them, either here or directly to Apple, because there's nothing anyone can tell you or do until you do.

You seem like a good candidate for Windows.

There certainly is some sort of problem but I can't get to the bottom of it. For example, the scripts that should take me to sub-folders on my (Mac specialist) ISP's webmail site refuse to work with Safari 3.1 or 3.1.1, though they're fine with 3.0.4.

Does anyone have any constructive suggestions - as opposed to snide asininities like Brass Hammer's? (And I've been a Mac user since 1984, and Apple II before that, so I don't think I'll be taking his thoughtful advice.)
