safari and remember me in ocuk forums?

lloydsj · 20 Mar 2008 at 20:45

Hi,

When i try to sign in to the OCUK forums using the remember me option i just get a blank white screen. It works fine if i dont use that option. Is there a way round this?

I'm using the latest safari, but I've only just got my macbook so don't have any idea if this was the same on earlier versions of safari.

cheers

I've never had this issue. Install all the updates available if you havent already. If that doesnt work, go to Safari > Reset Safari and see if that works.

Reset safari worked. Cheers.

I didn't even know that option was there, i've only had a mac for a few days

On a somewhat related note, if you are not offered the option to save your username and password in your keychain where you would usually expect to be able to do so (and I think vB forums like OcUK have this annoyance by default), create a new bookmark and add the following as the 'address'. Next time, click the bookmark before you log in and you will then be offered the option to save your login details in the keychain when you submit.

Code:

javascript:(function(){var%20ca,cea,cs,df,dfe,i,j,x,y;function%20n(i,what){return%20i+%22%20%22+what+((i==1)?%22%22:%22s%22)}ca=cea=cs=0;df=document.forms;for(i=0;i%3Cdf.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.onsubmit){x.onsubmit=%22%22;++cs;}if(x.attributes[%22autocomplete%22]){x.attributes[%22autocomplete%22].value=%22on%22;++ca;}for(j=0;j%3Cdfe.length;++j){y=dfe[j];if(y.attributes[%22autocomplete%22]){y.attributes[%22autocomplete%22].value=%22on%22;++cea;}}}alert(%22Removed%20autocomplete=off%20from%20%22+n(ca,%22form%22)+%22%20and%20from%20%22+n(cea,%22form%20element%22)+%22,%20and%20removed%20onsubmit%20from%20%22+n(cs,%22form%22)+%22.%20After%20you%20type%20your%20password%20and%20submit%20the%20form,%20the%20browser%20will%20offer%20to%20remember%20your%20password.%22)})();

Glad it worked.

See, "turn it off and on again" applies as much to Macworld as it does to World of Windows.
