[Rails] Re: Rails flash notice won't go away in Safari?

Thus my question: how can I get Safari to clear the flash after the first request?

I'm aware of the whole "flash vs. flash.now" issue when rendering pages. But even then, the flash will disappear if you simply refresh. I actually tried flash.now in this case, but then the flash isn't displayed at all in any browser.

Since this appears to be a browser-specific problem, here are some further stats on my system:

• Mac OS X 10.9
• Safari 7.0
• Rails 3.2.16

One final observation. After playing around with this issue in Safari, I noticed that if I clicked my bookmark for http://localhost:3000/, that would clear the flash. Of course, all the navigation links in my site layout contain relative paths, whereas the bookmark is calling a full url. 

Anyway, hope that made sense. Thanks in advance for your help!

Could this be a caching problem? Does the network inspector show fresh requests being made to your app?

Unrelated, but I think you have an XSS bug - if i link to your search page with the search parameter set to 99999999<script>...</script> then I'm pretty sure that js will get executed (the 99999 is to that to_i returns non zero)
