Active tab in safari

hi all I'm trying to find out if there is an extension for safari to show me which tab is active if i open a lot of tabs some of them start playing audio and it's frustrating trying to find the pages with the active audio. if anyone knows how to solve this annoying problem it would be much appreciated thank you.

hi Carolyn thanks for replying but i didn't explain my problem properly what i meant was this I'm on an open page thus making it the active tab when i open a bunch of other tabs where one or more tabs starts playing audio. Safari is not set to go to each tab as it opens so I remain on my original page i want to find which of those tabs are playing the audio. That's how I should've phrased my question thanks for your reply -- rdg

Can I change active tab on Safari from Search tab to Address tab on iPad 2 ?

When I open a new tab in Safari its automatically puts you on search tab .. I want to disable this to makes the address tab is active when I start a new tab .. is it possible ?
Im using iPad 2 on OS 4.3.3

You need to create a backing bean that will hold code for the event of clicking on the link.
In that code you'll set the disclosed property of the showDetailItem you want to make active to true, and then change the other tab to false.
A basic intro to working with backing beans is here:

What's the shortcut to close the active tab in safari?

I can't find them in the shortcut list, but it sounds like very basic feature for a common activity. I know the shortcuts for navigating different tabs.

Active tab appears inactive after switching to Safari

Hi,
I've had this problem since I updated to Leopard.
When I switch to Safari, e.g. with command+tab or change space, the active tab of Safari seem inactive while the rest of the application seems active (the tab has a lighter gray).
Here is a screenshot of it http://img.skitch.com/20080403-1i26eeynm4re5fiqmgipai5q8r.png
This is not just ugly, I have to click on another application then switch back to get rid of it, and I can't use shortcuts correctly – if I press command+w Safari asks me if I want to close all open tags, and I can't use spacebar to scroll forward in sites.
I haven't found anything about this error, I'm getting desperate
ps. removing the plist file didn't work

How do I middle click and close tabs in safari? please help!

I am used to google chrome and adapted to use middle clicks to interact with tabs. My friend introduced me to safari and as i am using macbook pro I think using safari should be more compatible. The only thing that is holding me back is closing tabs with middle click on mouse. I would really appreciate if someone would point me to easy solution for that.
Thanks,

Command-W closes the active tab.

Unwanted browser borders around active tabbed panel tabs

I'm getting unwanted borders around the active tabs in my Spry tabbed panels that seem to be added by the browser. For example I'm geting a fuzzy caterpillar border in Safari. Does anyone know how to turn off this effect? Thanks

Its called "outline" or focus borders, its in the browser for accessibility reasons. So when users use keyboard navigation, they know where they are on the page. If don't want it. You can remove it by adding outline:none to the css selector that targets the tabs

Audio stream stops when I switch to another tab in Safari

I've got this radio station website which links to a live stream so you can hear the station online. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago, on my Powerbook G4 running 10.4.9. Then my Powerbook died.
Enter my new MacBook Pro, still running 10.4.9. I try to listen to the same station, but everytime I start the stream, then switch to another tab to browse the internet, the audio stream stops.
BTW, the audio stream behaves properly when I use Firefox. Is there a reason why Safari can't keep on playing the audio stream when it's not in the active tab? Or have I got a bad configuration?
Many thanks, as always.

Nah, forget it; I just remembered what really used to happen (which still happens):
I used to open a new Safari window (not a new tab), open the radio stream in that new window, then switch to my previous Safari window with all my tabs. Then it works.
For some reason, I don't have to do this (i.e. open two different windows as opposed to two tabs) in Firefox.
I really like and prefer Safari to most browsers, but I have to admit, it's rather flaky in a number of ways. This is one of them.

Is it possible to view your current history for a single tab in safari lion

Is it possible to view your current history for a single tab in safari lion?

Not once the tab has been closed. If it hasn't, clicking and holding the Back button will display the titles of recently visited sites in that tab.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Privacy tab in safari 5.1 preferences is empty.

This is a screen shot of what I see when I open the privacy tab in safari preferences. Any reasons for this? Help!!!

Just spent an hour at an Apple Store with 2 Genius' and was not able to resolve the issue. This issue exists on both my Macs. One is running Lion and the other Snow Leopard. We checked other systems in store and none of them had problems. I suspect that this problem came as a result of an OSX / Safari update at some point because I haven't always had this problem. Safari Preference Pane isn't something that I (and I suspect many) people get into very frequently, so there's probably others with this problem (they just don't know it yet).
I did find that if you're using Lion which will re-open where you left off once you quit, that the following "work around" seems to work consistently. Open the preference pane that's blank (i.e. Privacy or Extensions). Next, quit Safari without closing the Preference Pane. Relaunch Safari and the Preference Pane appears displaying correct content. The strange thing, at least on my Lion system, is that the Blank Preference Pane flips between Privacy and Extensions. But, I'm able to correct the Preference Pane I need by going through this procedure. Again, this does not work for Snow Leopard because it won't re-open where you left off.
I've tried reinstalling Safari and nothing changes. My (and the Genius Bar's) opinion is that a "Fresh Install" is all that will probably fix this. Not an option for me at this point, so I'll just get along for now.
Wishing all with this issue the Best and I hope someone eventually comes up with something other than a "Fresh Install Option".

Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

When opening a new tab in Safari, the spinning wheels appears

Please help, I have very basic skills on a computer, so please make this simple and easy!!
When I open a new tab in Safari, it freezes and the spinning wheel appears. It stays on there for a long period of time and does not disappear. In order to get on I need to Force closure in Safari and restart the computer. Sometimes this will solve the problems and sometimes it needs to be restarted a few times.
This is really annoying and stops me using my mac.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

When opening a new tab in Safari...

Is there a way to keep Safari from opening up my recent searches window every time I make a new tab in Safari?
I find it annoying that it always pops down And gets in the way of the bookmarks bar etc.

Clearing Safari's history : Settings > Safari > Clear History
Then close Safari completely and when you re-open it your search history should have gone (though focus will still default to the search box). To close Safari : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
