Hey guys,
I wrote this script and it''s working great in Firefox (osx), but not
at all in Safari.
Did i miss type something here?

new Ajax.Updater(t, url,

I Still can''t figure this out but I did notice that I named the third
function the same as the second.
I changed that. but it still doesn''t work in Safari. maybe
there''s
something wrong with my onclick?
Any help is greatly appreciatted!
thanks,
jacob

updated code -

var t = ''content_main''
function a(url)
{
new Effect.Fade(t,{ afterFinish:
function aj() {
new Ajax.Updater(t, url,
{ method: ''get'' , onComplete:
ap = function(){
new Effect.Appear(t);
}
});
}});
}

<li id="s1"><a href="lyrics/out-come-the-wolves"
onclick="a(''j/lyrics/
wolves.html''); return false;">Out Come The
Wolves<span></span></a>
</li>

For the love of something, please learn to indent your code. That''s
almost
impossible to work with. No wonder you''re having problems :)

After I indented your code, I could see one possible reason it doesn''t
work.
Your defining your anonymous functions with names. It''s possible this
works in
FF because it evaluates to the functions that was created.

var t = ''content_main''
function a(url){
  new Effect.Fade(t,{
    afterFinish : function () {
      new Ajax.Updater(t, url, {
        method     : ''get'' ,
        onComplete :  ap = function() {new Effect.Appear(t);}
      });
    }
  });
}

Sorry for the novice scripting.
Thanks Michael that did the trick.
Although in Safari once the new content
has Appeared it the quickly disappears.
I heard this an issue with opacity
and Safari not liking it Opacity set
all the way to 1.
I changed it to effect.grow and that works
fine although not as sexy as appear!

cheers,
jacob
