If so then Safari breaks down when selecting a category that has previously been selected - the URI you specified in the XMLHttpRequest has been visited before as far as Safari is concerned so therefore should be in the cache... trouble is, 'cos of the bug, it's not, so you can't select a category more than once... you get a "Error, could not get map data" message instead without the XMLHttpRequest even being sent. (Boo Safari!) To fix it, make the URI unique each time by adding some ignored value to the end of it, such as the current date/time for example. I've not looked at the source code but if the URI was "./?category=alabama" then change it to "./?category=alabama&unique=1234" where the unique value changes every time. Phew! Sorry for the big geek post :) This site rocks - there's been nothing like it for years, so just wanted to help! Very cool, but it’s subject to a Safari bug I’m afraid :-(
