I installed Safari 7.1 yesterday. Then last night I went to investors.com (as I do every night after the markets close), and could not get into their Screen Center. I tried again this morning and still could not get in.
Installed Google Chrome and was able to get the data I needed from investors.com
Mea culpa

Probably just a corrupted/modifies .plist. There are a couple in ~/Library/Safari that may be culprits. Did you try accessing the site from your History list?If/when I update to 7.1, I'll try to remember to check that page.
BTW, I moved this to the "Tech" forum.

According to Safari's Web Inspector there are two javascript errors on that page, and I suspect that may be the reason the page doesn't load correctly. You might want to shoot an email off to the web master - it's not Safari's issue, it's the incorrect javascript. There are also a bunch of CSS errors, though they don't appear to be fatal (yellow, not red). I ran the troublesome bit of javascript through a couple of syntax checkers, and there is an "unexpected token" in line 1 of the following bit of code:
"<script type="text/javascript">
/* Handle UpdatePanel that contain the DGO chart */
if (typeof(Sys) != 'undefined')
{
var prm = Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance()
if (prm != null)
{
prm.add_endRequest(EndRequestSI);
}
}
SetSIFontSize();
</script>"
Note: quotes added around script.

Apple tends to lean toward more standards compliant browsers... And the web master of that site may not even have checked his work against this new version, anyway.I don't even see a Safari update in the MAS. I haven't installed 10.9.5 but it claims it only includes Safari 7.0.6. Where did you get 7.1? Perhaps I have to get to 10.9.5 before I can see Safari 7.1, not that I'm in any hurry... 10.9.5 has only been out a few days, after all!
If it's any consolation, I get a mostly empty page in a yet to be released version of Safari, also. The only thing that really shows is the "Most Popular" section. Is that what you're getting in 7.1?

Thanks for addressing my problem with investors.com Screen Center and confirming that it's not just me. I have emailed Investors Business Daily twice and have received no response. I do not feel tech-savvy enough to tell their webmeister what to do.

The problem has not yet been resolved. I will continue to use Chrome to access that site until they get it fixed. I really don't want to try downgrading back to Safari 7.0.6.

Joe, just tell the webmaster it's an issue with an incorrect javascript - tell him to run it through a javascript validator. It's NOT Safari per se - it's Safari adhering to standards.

As for downgrading, it's as simple as finding the old version of Safari in a Time Machine backup (a date a few days before you made the upgrade) and clicking the "Restore" button. You will likely be asked if you want to replace or keep the other version. Your choice. You'll lose any 'bookmarks' you've stored in Safari, if that's how you're doing that.
