The LiveConnect API is not implemented properly in any web browsers on OS X. This API allows a Java applet to communicate with JavaScript, or the calling document's DOM. This is a major hurdle in getting WYSIWYG editors to work on Mac's, because you can't seamlessly interact with a web form. I've submitted several bug reports to Apple with no avail.
Flash also relies on LiveConnect, in it's fscommand function. Other than this problem, OSX is a pretty kickin OS. _________________________________ Pete Freitag http://www.cfdev.com/ Author CFMX Developers Cookbook http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672324628/netgig-20 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
