Internet Explorer works fine with Xanga (it is a .net site...) on the Mac and Windows, but we do not like using IE for many reasons. Xanga's help site suggests that the problem is a local cache issue, but after disabling the local cache using some hints from this site, it still behaved the same way. I also tried the site in OmniWeb (which did not have a cache of the site), and it had the same problem.
To fix it, I enabled the Debug menu in Safari, set the user-agent to "Windows MSIE 6.0," and it worked! I have sent Xanga an email explaining that it is not a local cache problem, and asking them to fix their site. Oddly, I have not heard back.
This is an old solution (there have been numerous hints that address this type of issue), but I was unable to find any mention of Xanga and Safari/Firefox problems, so maybe some others will find it useful.
