Can't Click Some Facebook Links In Safari

This began a few days ago and it's driving me crazy. I can't click certain links and buttons on facebook in Safari, but it works fine in other browsers. I first noticed this problem a few days ago.

For example: if I try to post a status update, I can't click the SHARE button, or if I try to comment on something, I can't click the COMMENT button to post it. When I get to the bottom of the page, I can't click the "Older Posts" link. If I click the Messages link, I get a blank page.

Any idea what's going on here?

2.53 ghz Mac Mini (4 gigs of ram). iPhone 4. 2nd gen AppleTV., Mac OS X (10.6.6), I heart my Apogee Duet.

Hi,

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to: Other forms. Delete all Facebook url's, click Done.

And from your menu bar again, click Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.

Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari. Try Facebook.

If that didn't help, quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your user account in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder then the com.apple.Safari folder.

Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.

Relaunch Safari and try FB again.

I already have all three of the Safari >Prefs > Autofill check boxes unchecked, so there aren't any facebook ULRs to delete.
