[Ham-Mac] Safari Bug?

[kb9gpn at mac.com]

It is not a flaw in the newer versions of Safari.

You would be asked Apple to reintroduce a fault in the earlier  
versions of Safari that potentially allowed for exploits - they  
corrected the flaw in their earlier version that allowed an  
improperly coded page to load.

The page is simply coded in a fashion inconsistent with the Document  
type it declares (a page tells a browser what type of HTML or other  
coding it is going to use).

The Beta of the newest version of Explorer was said to be a "tight"  
as the Version 2.0 Safari, but under pressure from the Banner-Ad  
people Microsoft rolled it back before release.
