Hi Amber:
I've noticed that Safari support has improved overall. But there are
times when it just doesn't get the results that I need. Much of it
has to do with the designs of the web pages, which may or may not
have an effect upon what you are trying to do.
However, Apple has an interest gem in the Debug menu. Quit Safari
and open Terminal (Library > Application Support) and type in the
following:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu1
and press return.
Relaunching Safari gives you a new menu choice, Debug. It has a
plethora of cool functions. Select in the Debug menu User Agent, and
you can choose from a list of browsers, which includes Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6.0 (MSIE). Keep in mind that you are not using
MSIE, but allowing Safari to receive certain information that would
only be exchanged if the web browser "identifies" itself as MSIE.
If you implement this option, it may prove two things. If it does
work when Safari identifies itself as another browser, it will prove
that eBay's web design is not too Mac friendly. If it doesn't work,
then Safari may need some modifications that may come in the future
or you should consider not checking the box to keep you logged in.
If you change your mind about the Debug menu, quit Safari, open
Terminal and type the following:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu0
and press return.
Relaunch Safari, and the Debug menu should be gone.
Good luck.

Hi,
I recently have been having problems with Safari. For example, the
websites that I used to be able to sign on with a password
immediately are now rejecting it over and over again. It will
normally take 6 or 7 tries before I finally get signed on. This is
not poor typing on my part.
Ebay is a prime example...not only do I have trouble signing in but
midway through checking my auctions, I have to keep signing in -
despite checking off a box to stay signed in.
Any ideas as to what may be going on ? I would appreciate any
suggestions.
Thanks,
Amber
