[Ti] Safari spontaneously stopped displaying HTML

[Joseph Ayers]

I tried clearing the cache and cookies and still get a blank screen 
on a load. Interestingly, I just discovered that I also get a blank 
page on the show source. If I save the blank page from Sarari as html 
and load it with OmniWeb, it appears just fine. If I log in as root 
the same Safari application loads html just fine.

I had a similar problem and I found that deleting the cache and cookies set
things right again. For some reason Safari does not have the ability to
display changes to a page that you visited from which a cookie or cache info
was transferred to your disk. When this happened to me I launched IE out of
pure frustration and found the page displayed properly. However, I also
found the trashing of Cookies and Cache from Safari had the same effect.

I sure hope they fix this problem. I don't want to have to go back to IE,
thank you very much!
