Tried this. It still gets flagged by web sites more often then I care for (frankly, I don't even know why web designers test, what the heck do they care how you view the content). I've even gone so far as to use the Other option and put in the ID string my Windows PC running IE reports... still no luck. So some sites must use something else to test that iCab isn't faking (or isn't faking properly). >I also occasionally get that JavaScript in indefinite loop window that >pops up. It gives you a choice (don't remember the exact wording) to >cancel, or click OK. I always click Ok, and that stops the loop and the >page that was blocked by it continues loading. Sure it takes a little >time for that indefinite loop window to appear, probably because am on >dialup, but getting to click OK always seems to resolve that loop >problem(s) at the time. Yeah, the problem here is, it takes 60 seconds before you get that message allowing you to kill the loop. Meanwhile, the OS 9 version of iCab doesn't appear to like people multitasking, so it takes over the whole computer during those 60 seconds. That is 60 seconds I have to sit here staring at the screen doing nothing. To make things worse, one of the computer news sites I frequent has such an offending script on its site. And every page in an article trips this loop check. So every page of every article that I'm trying to read, I have to wait 60 seconds to kill the loop. That makes iCab unusable for this site. And this site is responsible for about 50% of my daily Mac web browsing use (I do 99% of my web browsing on my PC, simply because it is compatible with everything... the remaining 1% is done on my Mac, and 50% of that is following links to read articles of interest to me) >Hmm...You didn't mention Safari. Isn't it OS 9x compatible? Safari is OS X only. At least I'm under that impression. But even if there was a 1.0 release that worked with OS 9, I'd not want to use it. Safari was pretty slow and crappy in its early days (I'm still not overly happy with Safari under 10.4.4 running on my brand new super fast Intel iMac... I'm going to look around at other browsers there as well... I used to use firefox on OS X, I may see how it is doing these days) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
