Hi,

sorry for the bad tags above...
I'm working on a new iPod (bought feb 12 2008), don't know what Safari version
is on there, don't know where to look.

My bug report is as follows:
put a JS line in your page saying: window.onorientationchange = alert;
load that page on your iPod (and I guess iPhone as well) and change orientation
a few times without dismissing the alert: Safari/iPod freezes!

I made a test page, code pasted here:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>onorientationchange bug</title>
    <script type="application/x-javascript">
      window.onorientationchange = alert;
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    preparation: change the orientation of this page a few times without
dismissing the alert box<br/>
    result: my iPod hangs<br/>
    workaround: press the home button, then press the on/off switch twice
  </body>
</html>

I hope this helps make Safari even better!

groetjes Lon
