It doesn't always work. Sometimes it just loads the first page. -- m-m http://www.mhmyers.com

Sometimes it just loads the first page. I assume the page has to use particular types of HTML markup that allow Safari to recognize it as a multipage article.

Why do browser writers always brag about JavaScript performance? Does anyone really care how fast JavaScript runs? I see plenty of slow-loading pages, but the problems are always bandwidth (the sheer volume of stupid irrelevant noise people insist on loading their pages with), network latency, and just plain slow servers at the other end of the connection. Half the time I have JavaScript turned off anyway. The DNS prefetching, on the other hand, could be a big win. -- Jim Janney |
