Description Brady Eidson 2007-05-09 00:49:42 PDT

Both in Safari 2.0 and ToT, it seems OBJECT tags were incorrectly included in a page's applet collection.  This prevented (and continues to prevent) back/forward caching of certain pages.

Visit the above url in Safari/ToT WebKit and in Firefox
run "javascript:alert(document.applets[0].outerHTML);" from the location field

Firefox has 0, Safari/ToT have 1 - view the page source to see the big glaring OBJECT

Since Firefox correctly reports 0, it's hard to believe we ever did this for compatibility with FFX - however, I have not tried WinIE

Correction - since FFX doesn't support outerhtml, amend the javascript to be "javascript:alert(document.applets[0]);"

It gives you back an undefined collection, whereas Safari hands back a collection (with 1 member)

ummm check that - I meant a null ELEMENT, and Safari gives back an HTMLObjectElement
