Bug 8947 – yahoo mail beta: umbrella bug

yahoo mail beta doesn't work with webkit.  As of this writing beta-testing is invite-only.

I could be mistaken, but I believe as of now anyone with a Yahoo account can try out the beta. I did, and it definitely does not work. The error message that appears when trying to get in is as follows:

Yahoo! Mail Beta experienced a login error:Login error:
name:TypeError
message:Value undefined (result of expression document.body.insertAdjacentHTML) is not object.

This is also an evangelism issue.  Yahoo has the concept of "Graded Browser Support", and Safari 2.0 should be replaced by Safari 3.0 when it is released with Leopard.

This is correct.  See Bug 13053 for a work-around to test.

I just read this announcement: http://ymailupdates.com/blog/2008/02/13/all-new-yahoo-mail-arrives-for-safari-3/

Does this mean that this but can be marked as fixed?

[Ahmad Saleem]

All dependent bugs are marked as fixed. So I am going to mark this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Please reopen if you think, there are still some Yahoo specific bugs. Thanks!
