well the solution was System Preferences => Langugage and Text => Text turn off the Ellipsis function.

To: "WebObjects Development" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2013, 1:49 PM I just updated one of my workstations to the newest Safari. In one of my Wonder Apps, I have an AjaxInPlaceEditor in a table. My Entity has a method: public String statusWithNull() { if (this.itemStatus() == null || this.itemStatus().length() == 0) { return "Status ......"; } return this.itemStatus(); } Obviously, if the itemStatus is null I am returning "Status ……" In the new Safari, if the user clicks on the inPlaceEditor, she will get an text area to edit and the "Status ……" shows up. Her job is to place an 'X' at the end of the dots. when she does this in the newest Safari she sees "Status ...â¦X" It seems that the newest Safari is substituting "â¦" for the last three periods. This is what is stored "Status ...<C3><A2><C2><80><C2><A6>X" in the backend. My work around is to get her to use Firefox, but I would like to find what I did wrong. this is the top of my HTML: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html lang="en"> My feeling is that somehow, Safari is translating the three dots into an Ellipsis and screwing the pooch. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
