stupid safari issues apple needs to fix

[TDM21]

When downloading, Safari doesn't know what 1MB is. It considers 1,000KB to be 1MB instead the actual 1,024KB. That is just something that bothers me. It also explains why when you download something in safari the file size is always bigger in the download window.

I have a terrible dial-up connection (28.8Kps and a good day) so when the download window refreshes I see about every 8th kb

Even at that, there are some lists that are even longer, that are 1) not in alphabetical order, or 2) I'm not sure what I'm looking for, just browsing for the right option.

But thanks for the tip.

When you click the popup, you can just type the word in the list and it will highlight it, then just press enter. I had the same gripe (it should be combo-box not a pull down list), bu to my surprise it behaves very similar.
So, in a list, even if not alphebetized, you can type say "United" and it will highlight the first item with United (States etc) or you could go all the way.

Give it a try!

you need to analyse the string that SQL is storing. If SQL is storing it then it must have legit SQL characters... try adapting this script and looking at one of your dodgy string... you should then get the CHR() value and you can do a replace on that..


SET TEXTSIZE 0
-- Create variables for the character string and for the current
-- position in the string.
DECLARE @position int, @string char(8)
-- Initialize the current position and the string variables.
SET @position = 1
SET @string = 'New Moon'
WHILE @position <= DATALENGTH(@string)
BEGIN
SELECT ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string, @position, 1)),
CHAR(ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string, @position, 1)))
SET @position = @position + 1
END
GO

thanks

My biggest gripe with Safari is the fact that when you try to drag a bookmark or boookmark folder between two existing folders, it always wants to put the object I'm dragging inside the top folder. It just seems too "touchy" - it takes far more effort than it should.
