drop down menu not working

Question

drop down menu not working

Ever since I updated to 5.1, I have had problems with drop down menus not working. When I manually run a credit card on my online gateway, if I don't have all text fields filled out before I use the drop down, its freezes, and it won't work. If its a state, I can type C for california, and it will take it, but if its Colorado I am screwed.

And now I can't even change countries and its stuck on USA, I really don't like this. Either Apple needs to fix this bug, or can I find a prior version and install it as this is a big pain in my butt.

Anyone have a fix, besides going to Firefox? I have such a love-hate relationship with Safari, love it but hate when it pulls this garbage on me.

iMac 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.7), 4GB Ram

Please enable guest logins and log in as Guest. Launch Safari and test. Same problem?

After testing, log out of the guest account and disable it if you wish.

Try deleting the cache.db file.

Go to ~ / Library / Caches/com.apple.Safari

Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac.

~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder

Also, go to Safari / Preferences then select the AutoFill tab.

Click the Edit button next to: Other forms

Delete the sites you have problems with autofill then click Done.

Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Went to my user home, then library, then pitched the whole folder, quit safari, and it appears to be better. There was a ton of cache pages there also. I'll restart and try again and report back.
