I tested, and it does appear to throw. I think the sites where we ran into this were ones that had separate IE and Mozilla code paths, and Safari ended up in the Mozilla code path and therefore had to follow the Mozilla quirk. Given this, we would probably fix it in Safari if was fixed in Mozilla. Originally we had the conforming behavior on this. But there's a lot of sites out there that think there are exactly two browsers in the world. Regards, Maciej
