Safari is behaving very strangely and changing my code.  It seems to happen progressively, so the first edit might be fine, then it all goes horribly wrong.

For example:
& appears

&{assign_variable:template_name="site"}

Quote changed to a semi-colon at the end of this line

{embed="{template_name}/banner;}

Although previous embeds were unaffected

Not sure what is going on but going back to Flock!

I already uninstalled Safari 3 Beta as I had many problems with it on many different webpages. Sorry, I can’t help you with your issue but I can recommend downgrade to version 2.x

Why suffer? Downgrade…I did.
There are a lot of flaky little things in Sb3.

From what I have seen, this is a result of some Input Managers you have installed for Safari.  Check the locations:

~/Library/Input Managers/
/Library/Input Managers/

And remove any and all installed extensions.  You’ll need to restart Safari see the change.

For what it’s worth, Safari is my primary browser and at this stage in beta, it’s not worth it IMO to move to Safari 3.  If you want to experience the goodies of the new WebKit, run WebKit nightlies in tandem with Safari 2.  There’s an Applescript out there called “OpenWebKit” which will disable your input managers when launching WebKit, so you don’t have to manually move them out of the Input Manager folders every time.

Admittedly, I’m pretty ignorant about these things. So I downloaded the nightly webkit prompted by this post and all I got was another Safari browser. There’s a debugger too.  But I can’t figure out where the supposed Web Inspector is?... anyone?

Web Inspector is in your contextual (right click / ctrl+click) menu, but you have to enable it first in the plist.  Open terminal and paste the command:

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true

Who would’ve thunk it only took a right click. Heh. It’s right there for me to use even without entering the code in a terminal. Thanks.

The terminal bit is just from my notes when it was first released.  Not surprised that it’s included in the new WebKit already, as it’s gotten a super sweet overhaul.

I have to say…if anyone hasn’t looked at this Web Inspector they’re missing something pretty darn cool.

Yeah, it’s very thorough.

I noticed similar issues with Safari 3.  Looks like I’ll have to downgrade myself and wait.
