Problem with .sitx files (Safari but not Firefox???)

Hi All,
I have a website online (with help from iWeb and BBEdit) but am having a problem I cant figure out (this IS my first website!)
I am hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can help me with it.
I basically have a download section. Icons and desktops.
Now, when I (or anyone else) tries to download- everything seems to be fine in FireFox (even IE!) but not in Safari.
My desktops are compressed as .zip files. No problems there, everyone can download and open (including Safari users!)
My icons are compressed as .sitx files. This is where the problems come in. Firefox and IE download them no problem ('save to disk?' etc) However when one attempts to download the icons (.sitx files) with Safari it simply displays pages of gibberish (starting with the word 'Stuffit') which I am presuming is Safari trying to 'display' the contents of the actual stuffit file.
Why is this? Why wont safari simply download the .sitx files as it does .zip files?
Does Safari have some sort of inherent problem with .sitx files? Is it some sort of configuration within Safari preferences? or (and probably most likely!) is it something I have done wrong?
Oh, my website (page in question!) can be found here:

Thanks in advance for all your valuable help
Kind regards

Hi,
It sounds like the server the website/file is hosted on is not identifying the type correctly. As you've seen, different browsers will handle this situation differently.
Have a read of this article:

Hope that helps.

Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox NEED HELP!!!

Dreamweaver text looks fine in Safari but not Firefox, all my text goes out of alignment and the fonts look like different sizes. Please let me know your thoughts. Here is a link to the page I'm having problems with. http://www.alexandrasantibanez.com/bio.html

I had the same problem for days what a waste of time trying
to figure out code... the code was fine. I was running flash player
7.0 Upgrade your flash plugin to 9.0 and it should work fine in
Firefox and IE. It did for me.

I apologize if this is a repeat -- I can't find if my question has been posted, but all traffic received through SAFARI (but not FIREFOX) quoting prices has the latter in EUROS, not US Dollars. Figures in my outgoing Email appear to the recepient in Dolla

I apologize if this is a repeat, but I can't tell if my question has been posted.
For the past several weeks, all incoming traffic via Safari 5.0.5, but not Firefox,containing cost/price figures appear in Euros, not US Dollars. My responses, however, are received correctly in US Dollars. Wierd, and irritating. Any ideas?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Links working in Safari but not Firefox

Hi friends,
I'm hoping someone can help this confused amateur (aka me) get my website to work correctly. The site works fine in Safari -- but in Firefox, the internal links do not work (external links are OK). I suspect it has something to do with defining the pathways within the directory, but beyond that I'm lost.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm pretty sure it's a simple fix for someone who know what they're doing
Here's the site: www.thefourglobaltruths.com
The problematic links are under the banner, specifically "about the author," "links," "schedule," and "interviews."
BTW, I'm using a Macbook Pro, 10.6.8, and CS5...if any of that matters.
Many thanks in advance!

Is this website around 10+ years old?
It contains ancient, invalid code long past due for an update. It's a bit of a time machine.
Have you heard of validating code? It's a quick and easy method of checking if your code can be read properly by a browser.
If you put the address of the author page into http://validator.w3.org/
You will get 26 errors
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefourglobaltruths.com%2Fauthor.html&c harset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Firefox 3.6.12 does not load nay images from Joomla sites 1.5.21 and above. Works on Safari but Not Firefox. This happened after the firefox upgrade. All Joomla 1.5.20 and below work ok. why is this happening?

I have been developing Joomla sites for more than 4 years now and generally all the Joomla sites work well in Firefox. In this case, however, ever since Joomla upgraded to 1.5.21 and above, all Joomla sites on this level are having problems with Firefox 3.6.12 loading images.
We have tested a number of Joomla template manufactures and all the results are the same.
This problem is with the macbook pro only thus far. All the other apple products, like the towers, etc. are fine.
Not sure why this is happening. Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Leland

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

Photo Gallery - works in Safari but not Firefox .. ?

Hi,
I have a photo gallery at http://www.sg-karting.com/Racing/Photos/Photos.html
When I go into the albums, pictures are displayed in Safari but not on Firefox.
When creating this page on iWeb I selected 'Web Gallery' instead of 'Album'. Does this make any difference?
Regards.

I have just visited "http://www.sg-karting.com/Racing/Photos/Pages/KartingEdgeRound-1.html" using both Safari Version 3.0.4 (523.12) and Firefox version 2.0.0.9 on a G4 PB 10.4.11. And both browsers displayed the same information from what I can see. All the pictures revealed themselves.
Have I picked the correct album for your example?
I tried other area's of your web site and all appeared to be the same as the Safari. Maybe you need to clear your cache.

Slide show works with Safari but not Firefox!

I'm baffled: I was swapping out some new .jpgs for my site's looping photo slide show on the top of every page, everything was working fine 2 days ago and then... nada. I didn't change anything to cause it AND it displays fine with Safari. I'm pretty sure I have all my plug-ins up to date etc., so WTF?!?!?! Thank you.

Perhaps "slideshow" isn't the best description (I am NOT a programmer). There are six images inside the wood-looking frame on the top of EVERY page, which used to cycle through on a loop. I can still see them with Safari, but although I didn't change anything when swapping out the jpgs a couple of days ago (and they worked fine until yesterday)... they're no longer viewable on Firefox. Again... WTF?!?!?

URL opens in Safari but not Firefox

I've uploaded all files properly, and I keep hearing that
it's something to do with my path. I'm not 100% familiar in
Dreamweaver, so I could be overlooking something, but when this
non-working html doc is compared to a similar one (different only
in the image displayed), everything is the same. One works
perfectly, the other does not.
Is there any reason a page would open in Firefox, but not in
Safari? The link is
http://www.myriadmedia.net/honduras.html
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

looks like the source for the image file is messed up. i'm
not sure how it's working in safari!
here's what you have:
http://www.myriadmedia.et/honduras.jpgn
should be:

Uninstalling plug-ins for Safari, but not Firefox

Hi all,
I've been driving myself kind of nuts over this. Is there a way for a plug-in to be installed only for Firefox and not Safari? I like the built-in PDF reader in Safari, but I want the Schubert-IT PDF browser plug-in for Firefox. Both browsers share the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder, but it seems weird that we can't be selective in terms of which browser gets what.
If nothing else, is there maybe a Safari configuration file hiding somewhere that can be edited to exclude certain plug-ins?
Thanks,
Tim

The issue is that it's how you have it setup for PDF files.
Right or control click a PDF file you have stored on the hard drive then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel look for: Open with
All applications are set to open with a particular PDF viewer.

Why is target="mainFrame" for my buttons created in Dreamweaver CS6working in Safari but not Firefox

I created a site in Dreamweaver CS6 - http://rootsnation.com
The navigation buttons work perfectly in Safari, guiding the selected pages to the desired frame called mainFrame, but in Firefox they open in new windows.The code appears to be correct so I have no idea why Firefox isn't working with my files correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

QuickTime videos stutter in Safari but not Firefox

hi guys,
i recently built a website using lightwindow (http://stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow/) to display quicktime videos in modals. the videos play beautifully in firefox but are very choppy in safari. i've tried it on a couple different macs and the result is the same. if you go to the link above, the first demo called "quicktime movie example" is choppy in safari as well but not any other browser i've tried. any idea what could be causing this or why performance is so spotty with safari?
any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Web sharing works in Safari, but not Firefox?

Have created a simple website in Sites folder with Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
Appears to work fine in Safari, but when open address http://192.168.1.111/~username/ in Firefox, the old "Your website" html appears - even through that file has been replaced.
Same thing with the WebServer folder. I get the "It works!" file instead of the new one. Works fine in Safari.
Something I am missing?
Inexperienced at this! Any response appreciated, thanks.

Problems with where rownum = 2, but not rownum = 1.

Table created.

ROWNUM is only incremented when a record passes the WHERE clause (but ROWNUM is assigned before the rows are ordered).
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/pseudocolumns009.htm#i1006297
So if you need to use a lower bound for ROWNUM, you must use a subquery. And as you usually need first/second/third record when sorting by field x, there will be two levels of subqueries.
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT *, rownum rn
FROM (SELECT ...your query... ORDER BY x)
WHERE rownum<=2
WHERE rn=2
