A workaround for a JavaScript button problem in Safari
Authored by: masskinner on Oct 17, '03 08:45:06AM

Not all JavaScript problems are Safari's fault. Consider, for example, a button in one frame that changes two other frames, accomplished by a cascade effect in which the first frame changes the second frame, and the second frame changes the third frame.

When you block popup windows, Safari will only allow new windows that are directly tied to an action by the user. Thus a button in one frame can change another frame, but that second frame is not allowed to change a third frame. The programmer should have made the button change both frames simultaneously.

Try turning off the popup window blocking feature when buttons do not seem to be doing what they're supposed to.
