Strange File Upload Problem in safari

Last week one of the front end developer from my team mailed us the problem he was getting while trying to upload a file in Safari 3.0.3 on windows. He sent that, because he was getting some null pointer exception from the server (500 Error). Although, it was running perfectly on Firefox and IE.

Unfortunately, I had not the access to the server side code. However, the NPE suggested that something is not being passed to the server side.

After a little search got to this link http://www.webmasterworld.com/macintosh_webmaster/3300569.htm, which suggests:-
This happens if you set display:none in your onsubmit function, which is often used to hide the form during the upload.

After avoiding "display:none", the problem was fixed.

Read books in chunks, delivered to your inbox

Too busy to find time to read books daily ? How about
reading it in chunks ? Wouldn't it be gr8, if someone
mails you the chunk as per your wish
(daily or on weekdays) ?

I came across a site called DaliyLit, which does
exactly this. I appreciate the idea. And yes, they have got
a good collection of the books available to be read as
well.

Give it a try ! All the best !
