The software for many parts of this site uses a web based Javascript HTML WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet editor called tinyMCE. This script enables you to type a message and see what it looks like in real words rather than computer code. TinyMCE is probably the most popular WYSIWYG editor in use today. You can read about it on TinyMCE Javascript Content Editor by Moxiecode Systems AB

The issue at hand is that Apple's browser is not entirely compatible with tinyMCE. This is not because of TinyMCE; it is due to well-documented bugs in the Safari browser that Apple has been correcting bit by bit with each new release of Safari. Every other browser in common use is compatible with tinyMCE. On our end, we made the corrections necessary to make tinyMCE as compatible as possible with Safari. There are no further programming changes that we can make that would help you. The issue is entirely on Apple's side. Apple is not devoting resources to fixing this problem.

Here's a thread from cnet, a huge computer support site, Firefox vs Safari - CNET Mac OS Forums where safari users are discussing the same problems you are having, but with other websites. The problem is not BHUZ, it is Safari.

Many Apple (and PC) users prefer Firefox, which is compatible with just about everything and has more functionality than Safari. But, it's like anything else, you have to get comfortable with it and learn its features. It is easy to download and get started. Firefox is free.

Safari is the Mac default browser, but that's all it is, just a default. It's nothing special, and there is no particular reason to be loyal to it.

You can install Firefox on your Mac and use it just for BHUZ; use Safari for everything else. You can have two browsers on your computer.

Here's a postscipt - I couln't resist, so please forgive me. This is a quote from a Yahoo News June 26, 2007 article about the Iphone which discusses how Apple wants developers to use Safari to write apps for the Iphone --
"...many developers seem to hate writing for Safari. As PC World forums member dazeddan said, "As a developer, we have more problems designing around Safari than any other platform. I wish it would just go away."
