Also Omniweb has preferences that will let you disable Flash, etc for specific sites while enabling it for others. Both are well worth the money. Opera has an ad version tghat you can use Google ads, and I think Omniweb has a 30 day demo. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Safari question
One thing I've noticed is that if I hold down the mouse button on the slider the animation stops; is this perhaps a clue?

Safari question
I love it! Could hardly kill more than their socialized medicine... Okay, how 'bout an on-topic question: Is there a way to disable the @#$# live-motion ads that annoy me when I'm trying to read i.e. National Review Online? Is this Java? The pages have the option of selecting a printer version which drops the ads, but that's an extra step and while I'm not the laziest sob in the world, I'm in the top three. I don't mind the ads being there if I could disable the distracting motion. I'm using a PB with 10.3.5 and Safari 1.2.3 if that helps...

Evening Lista's, Having been involuntarily forced into using Safari from N/S 4.8...Is anyone familiar with how I can send a web page in Safari?

Re: Safari Question on Pismo
Grab the small icon to the left of the link in the address bar and drag it into an e-mail. Or highlight it and go to Safari/Services/Mail/Send Selection and OS X will create a new e-mail document for you with the link as the message body. Or you can cut and paste it into an e-mail. Services are system wide and available to all Cocoa applications, drag and drop is available to everything as is cut and paste.
