Hello guys,

It is been while!.. I had a question for you about the History object. 

In IE and Firefox, history.length returns the number of elements in the history
list while in Safari and Opera the same property returns the "index" of the
page in the history list.

Example:

1) launch browser X
2) go to www.apple.com
3) then go to www.yahoo.com
4) click the back button
5) type javascript:alert(history.length)

in IE,FF  the value is 2,   in Safari 3/4 the value is 1


So my question is, is this a bug in Safari or IE and FF are not following the
standard correctly? :)

Thanks
