[Ham-Mac] Re: Safari Bug

I copied the source code for this page and ran it through BBEdit.  It  
appears to be hand-coded HTML, since it does not have all the  
formatting garbage that Front Page throws into every page of HTML.   
BBEdit identified 5 formatting errors (including two places where  
bgcolor was set within table cells, which is not permitted), I  
removed all the offending code, and the page then passes BBEdit's  
syntax check.

  Even before making those fixes, it will display properly in  
Firefox, Explorer, and BBEdit's own previewer.  However, when  
attempting to preview the file in Safari, I get a Mac OS Error Code  
-10827, and it won't load.  Also, if I copy the entire page of HTML  
and paste it into a blank document in BBEdit, when I try to save the  
untitled page, I get the same error code, although the document will  
save. I can't find that error code in any of the OS error code  
listings available on the Internet.

The only thing I can figure is that there is an invisible character  
somewhere in the file that BBEdit doesn't see but the OS doesn't like.

The page will display in Firefox, and in Internet Explorer, but IE  
crashed shortly after loading the page. BBEdit crashed several times  
while I was manipulating the text in the HTML.  So it appears that  
there is something improper embedded in the page itself -- this is  
not a Safari error.
