Mintvelt posted in an obscure part of the forums about popup problems in Safari. I would like to hear from others as well. That's why I am posting in this forum. More people will notice this in the Recent posts and Unread posts.

Are you using Safari? When editing a post, can you use the "insert link" popup? Can you use the "insert image" popup? Did you ever experience problems with these anddid you perhaps solve them? How? Would you please instruct the rest of us?

Thanks for your help. I would try this myself, but I think my PC has enough browsers installed for now.

I am using Safari with Mac

I am using Safari 3.2.3 with Mac OS-X and do have the problem with the insert link popup. The popup appears but it is empty, so I cannot insert a link. The Insert Image Popup works with no problem.

Switching to Firefox is the only workaround I know so far.

I mostly use safari, I’m

I mostly use safari, I’m using 4 beta version. The hyperlink dialogue opens in a new tab (I think this is down to my settings) and is empty. The image dialogue also opens in a tab, but appears so I guess it works.

I administrate a few joomla based sites which use tinyMCE, i haven’t tried it recently in safari, but it never used to work with joomla 1.5 and safari 3. I use firefox for web development anyway, because of firebug.

Edit: The Image uploader doesn’t work properly, (images don’t upload) for me. But for posting links I have found it automatically posts the link as a link if you put the link on a seperate line/paragraph. Like this:

Okay, for some reason it isn’t working in this example, but sometimes it does.

Firefox is the best browser
Firefox is the best browser imho. It’s a little slower than chrome, but has so many features and so fewer problems. I have never had a problem with firefox in all the years ive used it. Chrome is nice, but not as good. Safari = IE.

IE FTW!!!

IE FTW!!!

 

OK, I’m just kidding. I’m a firefox guy myself, actually. I used to only use Safari, but I realized Firefox downloads files much faster, and I do a lot of downloading.

I’m using chrome on my PC at home

but I keep firefox handy for anything that chrome can’t handle. I have to use firefox for my online banking stuff and things like that.

And I browse LMR with firefox, it seems to work best.

I use Macs at work but I never use Safari. There’s so much that doesn’t work properly in it.
