Cut/Paste Rich text on Mac/Safari TextArea

When I Copy/Paste Rich Text into a awt TextArea it behaves differently on

Windows XP as compared to Mac.

For eg. visit the following webpage

http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/java108/java108.html

There is a TextArea somewhere near the bottom.

Now mark some text from the webpage itself for eg.

For eg. I copied the following area from the webpage

TextField

Textfield components are useful for .....

..............

..............textfield will generate an event.

Example source

Now I paste it in the textarea in the applet - In windows,

"Example source" appears as plain text.

Where in Mac/OSX - the text "Example source" appears

as a link, just like it is in the webpage.

How do I disable this on Mac - i.e. I want the text stripped

& pasted as plain text.

I am using Java 1.5 on both platforms

IE is IE6

Safari is 1.2 (v125)

Mac is OSX 10.3.9
