[Ham-Mac] OT -- Problems with Safari 3?

[k9zw at mac.com]

Have you tried setting the Safari "User Agent" to something other than  
Automatic?

You would need to have the "Debug" menu active in Safari.

If you don't you can do a web search or one article I've read on it  
is:  http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030110063041629

( basically when Safari is NOT running in Terminal do the command " %  
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1 "   and then  
restarting Safari.  )

I've found certain websites refuse to respond well to Safari 3.xx -  
Wordpress Editing specially so!    Simply setting the User Agent (what  
the browser reports to the remote website) to be Safari 2.xx fixes it  
for me about every time.

Hope this is of some help!
