Doing this without an extra confirmation step may be a privilege granted only to Safari since it can guarantee there's no code running which can attempt to fake a click on the button. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
