I know. I believe that we should be trying to find a method of getting around this.
In the mean time, Mac users should be using a browser that actually believes that the
mac is a real operating system.
Until M$ bother implementing Java -> JS communication, there is NO reason to blame
developers. I think there is too much effort but into fixing M$'s bad programming and
not enough effort is put into making a good API.
