You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is it something I can change?

If someone has the answer to this, I'd love to know it -- I'm not sure if the inability to tab into non-text fields (like the Post button, and drop-down menus on other sites) is a Mac thing or a Mac/Firefox thing. (I suppose I could test it with Safari right now, but that would be too easy. Plus, I'm supposed to be on my way out the door to go grocery shopping.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Sean, in Safari, hitting tab from the posting box *does* jump it to the Post Message button. Do you have Safari installed/are you willing to switch?

HEE!

Okay, that's the part of my message I *didn't* post. But both are true here, too. (I should really finish getting ready so we can get the groceries before lunchtime.)

I *do* have Safari. I'd just installed Firefox because Gmail didn't like Safari (and I hadn't gotten my lazy ass around to trying to download Opera for the Mac).

Okay. I can post from Safari and read Gmail from something else. That's fine. Thanks, Steph!

Huh. I have no problem with Gmail in Safari. Unless there's some cool feature I'm missing out on.

All is well that ends in pizza.

What version of Safari do you have?

Daniel, I was just coming in to ask that question. Gmail's browser specs: [link]

I may perhaps need to update Safari, but this Mac is also pretty ancient, so I might be running the most recent version that I can.

I'ma go check.

And NO! Tab just now put me into the search text box, but I noticed quick enough to not hit Enter.

What OS are you running?
