I tried MSIE6 version as well, and it worked. Moreover, here's the script they use (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/ 14413992/): if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("AppleWebKit") !=-1) { var fc = document.getElementById("flashcontent"); fc.innerHTML = "Hello, Safari user! Unfortunately, the photoblog is having a hard time with Safari right now, but we're working on it as fast as we possibly can. Until we can get a fix in place, would you mind giving Firefox a shot?"; } else { // show the flash content }
So basically they think any WebKit browser is Safari.
