Blocking Cookies doesn't work in Safari 5.1.1

Apparently Safari has a bug whereby setting Preferences: Privacy: Block Cookies: Always does NOT in fact block cookies at all.
This is in Version 5.1.1 (7534.51.22). I don't know about 5.1.2, as I haven't updated to it because of a well-known bug in it which breaks USPS label printing.
I have seen mention of this bug going back several months. Does anyone know if Apple intends to fix it?

just a reminder to add to all the discussions...
Safari 5.1.2 on Lion still does not work.
Regardless of the options chosen for cookies, all cookies are being accepted. When is this going to be fixed?!

CMD+ any shortcut doesn't work in Safari after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading from Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 not a single CMD+ shortcut works?!
For example CMD+tab works (switching between apps), ctrl+tab works (switching between tabs), but none of these work: CMD+W, CMD+Q, CMD+F, CMD+C, CMD+X, CMD+P...
They all work perfectly fine in all other apps. It's just Safari.
Does anyone have any idea why and how to fix this?

I have a similar pb :
CMD+SHIFT+1,2,3,... doesn't work in safari.
I'm using "English interface" with "French keyboard".
following miladc advice and link (Shortcuts not working on Safari and Firefox),
I changed my Language pref to French ... so I got "French interface" with "French keyboard" ... and it worked once !!!!
But it works no more ... very weird
All I want to do, it's having shortcut for my bookmarklet !

Download doesn't work with Safari

Just a tip if you happen to be using Mac OS. It appears that the License Agreement
page doesn't work using Safari. Works fine with Camino, though.

Hi Matthew
Does the Activity Window work normally when Rapport is uninstalled ?
If so, I'm not sure what you could do beyond keeping it that way & watching for an updated version; or contacting
http://www.trusteer.com/support/report-problem & seeing what they say, since it might conflict with some other add-on. You've the same trouble in a new account ?.

XMLhttprequest doesn't work in safari

i have a website and it works fine in Internet Explorer, but the website doesn't work in Safari.
i use xmlhttprequest to get data from the database and that data i want to put in an selectbox.
i have multiple selectboxes and the first one i don't use ajax to get the data and that one works fine. but as soon as i use ajax it doesn't work anymore in safari.
this is the function i call to get the data.
function UpdateOrder(custid)
      var xhrrequest = getXhr();
          // Ici on va voir comment faire du post
      xhrrequest.open("GET","ajax/UpdateOrder.php" +"?q=" + custid, true);
      // ne pas oublier ?a pour le post
      xhrrequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded') ;
      xhrrequest.send("bedrijfsnaam="+custid);
      // On d?fini ce qu'on va faire quand on aura la r?ponse
      xhrrequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
       // On ne fait quelque chose que si on a tout re?u et que le serveur est ok
       if(xhrrequest.readyState==4 && xhrrequest.status==200){
        var string=xhrrequest.responseText;
        var array=eval(string);
        var tdaddress = document.getElementById("tdorderid");
        var selectiebox = document.getElementById("selorderid");
        if (array.length > 0)
         //selectiebox vullen met straatnamen
         var splarray = array.toString();
         var strarray = splarray.split(",");
         var i=0;
         for(i=0; i< strarray.length; i++)
          var oOption=document.createElement("option");
          oOption.setAttribute(i,strarray[i]);
          oOption.setAttribute('value',strarray[i]);
          var oText=document.createTextNode(strarray[i]);
          oOption.appendChild(oText);
          selectiebox.appendChild(oOption);
i also viewed the errorlog and there it said:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: DOM Exception 5: An invalid or illegal character was specified, such as in an XML name.
can anyone help me please?

it works. there were some problems with the select box. the way it was created didn't work in safari and chrome. but now it does

Paypal button doesn't work on Safari. but works on Firefox

I have over 100 pairs of "Add to Cart" buttons on my website. One of each is on the individual item page and the other is on my Order Form.
I have one button that works on the order form, but the identical button doesn't work on the individual page when using SAFARI, but works when I use FIREFOX!
I have recreated the button several times and put it in the proper place several times, saved the changes and republished. Still it doesn't work in Safari!
This must be a Safari issue not a PayPal issue
Any suggestions?

Java doesn't work on safari / xp

Downloaded the latest Safari, 5.1.7, for Windows XP
Downloaded the latest Java, JRE as well as tried JDK, 7.04 and configured for IE and Safari.
Java.com test works on IE, but on Safari, refers to
C:\Program Files\Oracle\JavaFX 2.1 Runtime\bin\server\jvm.dll
There is no server directory, nor any jvm.dll anywhere in the Oracle install.
What's wrong??
Help!

Ok, 3 days and no responses. I guess Java doesn't work on Safari/XP. Time to switch...

I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!

Why do I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!I have flash for mac.Your help will be appreciated.

If you're talking about using Flash on your iPod, you can't. There is no version of Flash that will work on any iOS device. If you're talking about using Flash on your computer, you may want to repost in the correct forum.

HT5655 Flash still doesn't work with Safari.

I've done this repeatedly. Flash still doesn't work with Safari. It does work with Firefox and Chrome.
I deleted the Flash plugin from Library>Internet Plugins. That didn't solve the problem either.
What can I try next? Thanks.

Javascript doesn't work on safari desktop but works properly on Safari ipad. I already cleaned a cache without success

javascript doesn't work on safari desktop but works properly on Safari ipad. I already cleaned a cache without success. IE, FF and Opera are working well

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Safari 'block cookies' option not working

In Safari preferences > privacy there are 3 options for Block cookies
• 3rd parties
• Always
• Never
I wish to have the "never" option selected because some websites I use wont work otherwise.
However, I can not change this option because Safari always changes it back.
This is what is happening...
I open Prefs > Privacy & the box "3rd Parties" is ticked, but after about 2 seconds it changes to "Never"
I close the window & open it again, its back to "3rd Parties" & again afer a second or so it changes to "Never"
I have quit safari, I have trashed the plist - the behaviour is the same.

The fifth paragraph of your post appears to contradict the third.   I'm confused!
In that third paragraph you say you wish to have the never option selected.   Why.   You will expose yourself to all manner of rubbish that way. Then in the fifth you say it keeps coming back to never (which in effect says never has been selected successfully). I don't wish to be picky, you understand, just be sure I grasp what you mean.
Have you read the page linked to the purple question mark (bottom right of Safari > preferences > security).   On sites you visit, the third party option allows for cookies to be placed by the site you are on so you should have no problem in that respect.

Why Position:Relative from CSS doesn't work at Safari 5.03?

If you watch my web page: http://clubdeleonesst.tk
I designed a ComboBox and have some problems with position relative. I used jQuery to create it, you could watch the original example here:
http://www.marghoobsuleman.com/jquery-image-dropdown
And I have been watching that the transparency from Flash doesn't work too. I hope you can solve these bugs.

The "disappearing" affect you describe is not normal. You may need to reinstall Safari.
First, try removing the Apple cookies from your Safari Preferences>Security>Cookies panel. Also, go to your Safari Menu and Empty cache. Then try to log-on to Apple Discussions.
Also, regarding the "disappearing" effect, try Safari from another User Account.
Here is guidance from Apple on how to set up the account. You can ignore step 7 in the article.
Also, on the system preference>Accounts panel, click on "log-in" options. There, select "fast user switching". This allows you to go back and forth between user accounts via an icon in your Menu Bar at the top of the computer screen.
Log-on to the new account and start Safari. If Safari is stable in the new account, then your problem is specific to your regular user account. Otherwise, similar response means a system-wide problem.
Post back with results.

Flash Player doesn't work on Safari, Netscape, nor Mozilla

I've downloaded the flash player but it's funny that it works
on Internet Explorer but it doesn't work on the other browsers. I
downloaded it from here --->
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
Why is that? I don't like to use Internet Explorer and I rather use
Mozilla or Safari.
Then, why my computer says "You don't have sufficient disk
space to complete this installation. Please free 5000 KB and try
again" when I tried to download it from Safari/Mozilla????... the
computer has around 142 GB free to use. I'm so confused.
Help!!

Hi Berryblue and Uniondue-
With that issue, the most common problem is that drive C: is
not the hard drive. FP is hard-coded to C: and won't dl to another
letter.
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb406903
But, in this forum, I have seen another issue with Firefox.
See the thread by ppalesch, dated 1/21/09 "latest flashplayer will
not install on firefox".
Also see "Insufficient diskspace to install: WRONG!" by
PhaineinTerra, dated 4/28/07, read the replies by Darren McNally of
Adobe.

Mailto: Link doesn't work in Safari

In my project, we have a link to open a outlook mail. when i open the link in IE/Chrome/Firefox browser, it opens the outlook with the given mail id. But, same link was not working properly in safari browser.
I am using safari version 5.1.7(7534.57.2). When i click the link, it opens the outlook mail, but my current(Parent) window gets crashed.
Below is the sample code i used.
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendEmail);
function sendEmail(e:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]"));
Thank in advance

Thanks for your reply..
We already tried that too. But doesn't work.
My problem is after clicking the link, my current window became black screen and it opens the outlook with the given mail id
we are not sure, whether the issue is related to flash player or safari browser.
Any idea?

Link doesn't work in safari landscape mode

Hi All!
Sometime I have problems with links in Safari. If I click on a link, it doesn't work, only when the iPhone is in landscape mode. If I turn the iPhone in portrait mode, I can click on the link correctly.
Is there anyone with this problem?
thanks!
stefano

same thing here, I've talked to apple twice and no resolution
if you move the screen up you can usually get the links to work
also when I do Google searches I can get to the second page of results and then I can go no further
