There are no specific issues with regular expressions and Safari,
perhaps if you post a small sample of code that displays the
behaviour someone can provide a better answer.

Can't say I know on Safari, but the regexp looks fine to me.

Maybe I missed something but shouldn't this:
var zoneTag = new RegExp("<ns[0-9]*:Zone .*?>","gim");
var zoneTagArr = zoneTagRegExp.e xec(bodyContent );

be
var zoneTagRegExp = new RegExp("<ns[0-9]*:Zone .*?>","gim");
var zoneTagArr = zoneTagRegExp.e xec(bodyContent );
?

Is your broken style of posting due to the "revolution ary" client you
are using or is it that you just don't understand how to post properly,
in accordance with the FAQ, in this group?

I doubt understanding has anything to do with this; refusal is more
accurate.

I actually like Opera, and was trying to give him the benefit of the
doubt as I have never used the Opera Email Client. I looked at it in O8
last night but didn't have time to try to use it.

I think I've mentioned not to top-post at least four times in replies,
and I noticed Richard did too quite recently. Others might have in
threads I didn't read.

I did for several months and then switched to Thunderbird after
reinstalling XP. The only thing I didn't really like was wrapping; it
was fixed at 80 characters and I always ended up having to wrap manually
before posting. I suggested changes, but I haven't used M2 in O8, so I
don't know if anything's been implemented.

I think I am going to play around with it this week to see how I may/may
not like it. I use Thunderbird right now but have never had time to sit
and go through it to find how to change the things I would want to
change. Might give me something to do in some free time, and who knows,
might start using O8 for news instead.

This is being posted with Opera 8's email client. One thing it does that
is counter-productive is that it puts the cursor at the beginning (top) so
as to make top-posting seem "normal" (much the way Outlook does). It is
also still wrapping at 80 characters. Yuck!

The above was just typed in, so going to post it to see how it wraps it on
its own.

If this is indicative of being "revolution ary" though, I think I will
stick to Thunderbird for a while :(

------------------------------------^

You may want to change that to '+' to match one or more digits rather
than zero or more (up to you).

Here's your issue --------^^^^^^

var zoneTagArr = zoneTag.exec(bo dyContent);

Test (works in Firefox and Safari but not IE on Mac):

<input type="button" value="Click me" onclick="
var txt = '<ns223:Zone sathya blah blah>';
var zoneTag = new RegExp('<ns[0-9]*:Zone .*?>','gim');
var zoneTagArr = zoneTag.exec(tx t);
alert(zoneTagAr r[0]);

The FAQ has not been updated for a long time; in particular, while it
does describe the desired effect, it does not say how to get it when,
like Danny, one is using Google.

Danny, if you find that, when you start a News reply, Google does not
provide the previous article in quoted form, note what Keith Thompson
wrote in comp.lang.c, message ID <lnwtuhfy7d.fsf @nuthaus.mib.or g> :-
If you want to post a followup via groups.google.c om, don't use
the "Reply" link at the bottom of the article. Click on "show
options" at the top of the article, then click on the "Reply" at
the bottom of the article headers.

But Danny isn't using Google. That's why his signature says he posts
using Opera, as does the User-Agent header. :P

Opera is perfectly capable of forming properly formatted posts. He
/refuses/ to.
