I have a site that works perfectly in IE6 IE7 FF2 FF3 but not in the
latest Safari.
Here is the issue. I am attempting to call functions within a flash
object. When trying to attempt to retrieve the object to call the
functions IE6 IE7 FF2 FF3 all return Objects to work with. In Safari
a function is returned. Here is the code.
The code errors at
api.setActivityID( document.forms[0].activityID.value );
with
Value undefined(result of expression api.setActivityID) is not
object.
Low and behold it's not an object it's a function in the eyes of
safari.
Does anyone know a work around for this in safari.
Thank you,
Tim
