Movable Type Entries in Safari
If you’re using Mac OS X and Movable Type to publish your weblog then this will be of interest to you. When you’re creating a new entry using Safari or IE 5.2 (OS 9), you won’t be able access some formatting buttons for bolding text, adding hyperlinks, etc.
There is a Javascript bug in Safari that prevents you from seeing these formatting tools. Using Firefox under OS X, you’ll be able to access these formatting tools and save some time when formatting that next entry.
If you’re using a PC then you won’t have a problem in any browser. You’re probably already using those icons to format your entries.
Safari is still my browser of choice on the Mac. Hopefully this bug gone in the next version of Safari, due out in a couple of weeks.

Just switched (again) to Mac. January 2006: The issue is still there… :( Got this page by Googling around.
I loved Firefox on Windows, but I prefer Safari on the Mac. Arg.
