Tom's last post cost me some time in research. My original post was based on hard personal experience, and I was surprised to hear that Safari 2.x passed the ACID2 test (although I don't concede that is the only criterion for judging a browser).
On Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid2) I see that this compliance began with Mac OS v10.4.3. As I believe this is a very recent release, my experience has probably been with earlier versions. It would surprise me to learn that Mac users having this version or later currently represent a majority, it's the other real-world users out there I have to worry about. As a web developer, I can now feel optimism that Safari will present less of a problem going forward. The OP should probably go ahead and start using the Safari 3.x beta. It looks as though it's stable enough for daily use. --JE ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
