Yeah, I just noticed that too. Very interesting. On a side note, MacMinute is reporting that Safari downloads have topped 1 Million.

Just a simple JavaScript browser detector.

also, in safari, below the news headline thing, the box that normally shows safari is replaced by aiport extreme. in IE, its still a link for safari.

Pretty cool. And they also took down the Safari "Turbo Browser For OS X" picture/link at the bottom left of the page and replaced it with Airport Extreme. I suppose they think if you are suing Safari already then you don't need to be lured in to use it with that link.

P.S. The Safari picture/link is still there when I checked with IE.

Edit: Looks like you beat me to it Beez7777

That's awesome. Are these people classy, or what? Little things - little things. They matter.

Yes, but that's not the exact one that did the "Welcome Safari Users." That's for the promotion on the bottom.

However, the correct code is very similar:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
var SafariMessage = "<IMG SRC=\"/home/images/2003/01/safarititle01202003.gif\" WIDTH=\"670\" HEIGHT=\"80\" ALT=\"WELCOME SAFARI USERS. The new PowerBooks.\">"
var NoSafariMessage = "<IMG SRC=\"/home/images/2003/01/powerbooktitle01202003.gif\" WIDTH=\"670\" HEIGHT=\"80\" ALT=\"The new PowerBooks.\">"

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Safari') != -1) {
document.write(SafariMessage);
} else {
document.write(NoSafariMessage);
}
</SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>
<IMG SRC="http://a772.g.akamai.net/7/772/51/1e859126f7f1df/www.apple.com/home/images/2003/01/powerbooktitle01202003.gif" WIDTH="670" HEIGHT="80" ALT="The new PowerBooks.">
</NOSCRIPT>
