Hey! =]

Since I switched to mac I had to use Firefox to do my dirty work on eBay.
Why? cuz it supports eBay's WYSIWYG Editor.

Since Firefox and Mac OSX are not so good friends for me (I prefer Safari) I tried Camino, but it has the same problem as Safari which is weird cuz it supposed to work as well as Firefox no? (correct me if i'm wrong).

I uploaded screenshots to explain what I'm talking about:

Firefox: WORKS WELL

Camino: HTML ONLY

Safari: HTML ONLY

How can I solve this thing?? cuz Safari and Camino supports every website I get into that has such graphic editor.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!

I cannot see any HTML wrapper in that code <html><body> and </body> </html>

could that be causing the code to appear as text?

I don't think so, I mean, it works fine in Firefox without those tags, why wouldn't it work right on Camino and Safari?

My guess is, it's eBay's fault. eBay probably "recognizes" Firefox, but not Camino (which uses the same engine) or Safari.

Have you tried switching the user agent?

Thanks for the answer.

I'm sorry but I have no idea what's the user agent, what is it? lol

Oh and btw, eBay recommends Safari on their Help & Support page.
