Hi All, Has anyone else had a problem with the OW 5.5 release and Netflix's "widgets", such as the ratings stars and the "not interested" button. I'm seeing OmniWeb attempt to visit the URL they submit to, placing it in the address bar, etc. This just ends up with a blank page. For example, if I click on the fifth star to give Casablanca a 5-star rating, OmniWeb tries to take me to the URL: http://www.netflix.com/SetRating? foo=bar&foo=bar&widgetid=M354611_148343_9_8&value=5&url=http%3A%2F% 2Fwww.netflix.com%2FRecommendationsHome%3Flnkctr%3Dmhrec&ncok=true I assume Netflix is using some nice AJAXy goodness behind everything. I don't have time at the moment to drill down into their Javascript to see what exactly it's doing, but the stars and the "not interested" buttons are standard image tags in the HTML. Has anyone else seen this? I didn't see this with any of the betas or RCs, though I can't honestly say I used Netflix, or specifically these widgets, with all of them. Otherwise, I'm enjoying OW 5.5 ;) -Will _______________________________________________ OmniWeb-l mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/omniweb-l
