Yeah, 15 seconds and Safari goes boom. From the trace it looks like maybe a Java issue(?). I'm running Java 1.5 for Yugma compatibility. Maybe those with it working are using 1.6 or a different version?

If its a Java issue then install Safari 4 as it was designed specifically by Apple to be more Java friendly.

http://www.apple.com/safari/

This makes a great homepage for Safari 4, but don't be naughty and use it as your Safari 3 homepage:
http://www.apple.com/safari/welcome/

I would also like to mention whoever designed the Walmart homepage needs to go on a graphic design course or get their blindness sorted by a doctor.

I suspect that flipping to Java 1.6 fixes it too. I can't/won't install Safari 4 until some of the (potential) reported issues with some financial sites are fixed.
 
nottaproblemo here.....was just on their site about 10mins ago....... checked in 10.5.6, with both Camino & FireFox too!
 
Yeah, it crashed on me too. Running OS X 10.5.6 and Safari 3.2.1
Good thing I don't want to buy anything there, 😀

For those that are not crashing -- can you post your Java version?

I believe this is standard at Utilities->Java->Java Preferences

I'm set at (and crashing):
Java applet versions
J2SE 5.0
Java SE 6
J2SE 5.0
J2SE 1.4.2

(same for Java application versions)

OS X 10.5.6, Safari 3.2.1

My versions are identical to yours but I am using Safari 4. No crash.
 
Interestingly enough it does not crash my Firefox v3.1b2 but the two-finger scroll on my MB isn't working only on that page...
 
Works fine now!

I haven't changed anything on my iMac, running OS X 10.5.6 and Safari 3.2.1. This morning the WalMart site crashed Safari, but now it works fine there. Maybe it was something on WalMart's end. They better be careful if they want to continue selling Apple products, 😀

happened to me on two of my machines, using 10.5.6 and safari 3.2.1 with everything uptodate.

maybe its apple's way of saying "dont commit walmart" 😛


but im not sure if its a combo of flash/javascript errors, since safari has been acting pretty weird for me of late as well, kind of crashing alot even after a clean install with just the OS installed + updates.
