    Is this site written for window$? I am trying to figure out why I have problems with Safari not running scripts – but I can’t match my screen with your example. My Safari is 5.0.5 on Leopard 10.5.8.

    I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely can i encounter a blog that’s the two educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail over the head. Your idea is actually outstanding; the issue is a factor that not enough people are generally speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that stumbled across this around my search for something relating to this.
