How do I set Safari_warning option to false?

Hi,

Can you post the address of an example website you are experiencing this on?

Hi,

The warning that pops up is referring to a setting on the webserver, not your computer. The webmasters would need to change their website code to stop it from appearing.

This is simply something you don't have control over and is poorly implemented by the website. In their Javascript file it says the following:

"{if(this.isSafari&&this.getParam('safari_warning',true))alert("Safari support is very limited and should be considered experimental.\nSo there is no need to even submit bugreports on this early version.\nYou can disable this message by setting: safari_warning option to false")"

It's up to the administrator of that website to turn off the safari_warning by changing the first line. It's basically a note to the system admin or webmaster that was left in the error message and it beyond your control.

Hi dirtchem, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums

Ibod and Ryan are two of our Maestros / Gurus. It would be hard to find better assistance.

Hmmmnnnnn. You marked it green = solved. And now the plot is thickening w fingers pointing in opposite directions. (Like my ISP and Telco.:~)) It will interesting to see how this works out.

If you stop being tracked due to the star, then you may need to start a new thread.

Good Luck, JP

I told the administrator about changing the web page
and got this reply:

...from our IT Department: “This is a message that
the browser (Safari) pops up when a web page uses
Javascript. The text editor that we are using for the
awards system is using Javascript. Please tell them
that this is a message from their browser, Safari,
not our web site. It is not something that we have
control over.”

It's nice that they lie to you. Tell them specifically to look at THEIR OWN Javascript code: http://www.asa-cssa-sssa.org/awards/jscripts/tinymce/tinymce.js

Tell them to look for this line in that Javascript file:

"{if(this.isSafari&&this.getParam('safari_warning',true))alert("Safari support is very limited and should be considered experimental.\nSo there is no need to even submit bugreports on this early version.\nYou can disable this message by setting: safari_warning option to false")"

Then tell them to change this portion:

if(this.isSafari&&this.getParam('safari_warning',true))

to this:

if(this.isSafari&&this.getParam('safari_warning',false))

Such incompetence on their part! Yes, it is a message from Safari in a sense that Safari displays it but it's created by their Javascript code.

Edit: And here is proof that it works - same code straight from their website with the above changed. Click here. (Some images and links don't work but that's because I'm not taking the time to fix their site to work on my server).
