I recently came across a strange bug the other day on Safari. Whenever you typed in the address Safari would strip out the commas before storing it in a javascript cookie. I searched around but didn’t find anything on it, so I came up with a workaround which was just a simple decode/encode function to filter the comma back in.

This would explain why if you typed in “123 Fake St, City, PROV” you would come back to the site and it would only say “123 Fake St”. It was stripping – not that kind of stripping – but yes, character stripping my commas!

The bug is fixed and now iPhone users can stop sending me death threats
