the ? (apple) icon turns into a ? in safari!

[actingbiz1]

Ok, I wanted to input the apple symbol in my signature, I have seen others do it, but I can't seem to do it! My safari browser will not let ME do it. I can see others, but not mine! Can you see it?:


Hence the large grey ? in my sig...

The ones in your post appear for me, but not the one in your signature. When you put the code in, you must save the signature without previewing it or anything like that -- it will only work if you enter the code, and not if you actually see the logo in the box.

Save it without previewing it. That's always the tricky part.

You have to use the ascii value, , and not just type the apple, according to this thread

I don't get it working right now, outside code-tags:



Hmmmm...really?



There's something strange...seems to work for me sometimes and not others. And I didn't think you needed that leading semi-colon.

I think it might have to do with what browser you're using. Firefox seems to be a bit picky:

How do you make that Apple Symbol

option +shift + k....?

Opt-Shift-K will make it show up in the browser, but when you save the post, you won't see the Apple.

Mitthrawnuruodo, I've actually never gotten them to really show up in FF.... So the one in the code box appears, huh?

And heh...I take it you've switched back to FF because 10.4.3 broke AcidSearch?

Nope, v0.61 of AcidSearch came out fairly fast after 10.4.3, and that fixed everything... I switched back because Safari just crashes too much, several times a day, and in 99% of the cases it happens when I close a tab that has contained some CGI search result, like my public library's site (), especially when a search returned no hits and, after 10.4.3 it even started crashing when I searched other sites with CGI programming like Mac OS X Downloads...

So, when I got a tip on Vienna RSS reader, took the time to learn how to make Firefox search engines and found SpellBound, I quitely told Safari to kiss my shiny metal ... and went back to Firefox...

Yup...
