  • 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.

  • Thanks for this. I always have a hard time disabling Java Script, especially in Google Chrome and this is a great help.

  • 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.

  • thanks for the tips i am so glad that i found this post,safari so far is very friendly to me not giving me any problem.
