So, I bought tiger, got all excited by the speed of Safari 2, and then tried my yahoo mail acct, and it still bloody well doesn't work with my mail!



Go to "compose"--in Firefox and every other Mac browser, as you begin to type the name of the recipient, a JavaScript brings up a shortening list of names as you type from your address book. It is a great and invaluable feature...why does it not work with Safari??



Well, guess I am sticking with Firefox!



BUGGER!

    I heard that it had come out, but my SW update says that I am up to date (although this is a clean Tiger install)



    Do I need to install it manually?



    Thanks for the help!

    java and javascript are totally different thing, even you have installed j2se5.0, it won't affect anything in javascript.



    anyways, different browser will behave differently with javascript, then javascript has different version too, e.g. javascript belongs to netscape and microsoft has its own standard called jscript. (javascript has few different standard)



    It's all depend on if yahoo want to support safari or not, until then you won't get the auto complete features with safari. (i remember when yahoo just bring out auto complete it didn't support firefox too, now they do, so they are making progress)
