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

According to this page, FKA doesn't work with some "Carbon" applications. Is Firefox one, maybe?

Okay, well I figured out how to make the Tab key thing work in Opera (and possibly Safari, though I haven't checked yet). It's more than just turning on Full Keyboard Access -- I had to go under System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse, then click on the Keyboard Access tab. At the bottom of that tab was a "For windows and dialogs, highlight:" radio button that I had to switch from "Text boxes and lists only" to "Any control." Now I can do my Tab --> Enter trick to post. This works whether Full Keyboard Access is turned on or not.

Unfortunately, Jessica, it appears that it doesn't work in Firefox. I just checked.

Our wings are not tired

Unless you use the free utility XPostFacto...

Not on that machine actually. It's a Beige G3 and XPostFacto won't work with the built in video, so it would have to have an aftermarket ATI video card in the machine. Those cost of the video card would be about 4 times what the machine is worth.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Huh.

I hadn't given any serious thought to trying XPostFacto yet, so that's good to know.

Hey. New board.

You could try Camino, Sean. It uses Firefox's engine and is a full Mac app, so if you've got the tab-to-post-message working in Safari, it'll probably work in Camino too (it does for me).

I like Camino a lot. Looks lik a Mac app, works like Firefox on rendering.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I need to fire up my Macintosh Color Classic and I can't quite seem to find the power cord.

I have a power cord for a DVD recorder, can I use that power cord?

Any computer-style power cord will work.
