[jQuery] Re: Testing IE6 and IE7 with Virtual PC
Safari on Windows is a beta version 3. Most Mac users still use Safari 2, the stable release version included with current versions of Mac OS X (the 10.4.x family). Even the Mac version of Safari 3 is still in beta, due to be shipped with OS X 10.5. Just make sure you are comparing apples to apples (no pun intended) when finding Safari differences between operating systems. I wouldn't expect Safari to have identical results between Mac and Windows until OS X 10.5 is released and gains some market share (thus spreading Safari 3 across the Mac community).

Im really beginning to hate MS IE, and VISTA. They couldn't just include the rendering engine of IE6 somewhere. And for crying out loud, why dont they for once complay with standards instead of invent new ones.

Safari on Windows and Safari on Mac are two different beasts. I found this out the hard way; what was working on Windows, didn't necessarily work on a Mac. :( On Aug 21, 8:40 pm, Brice Burgess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bernd Matzner-2 wrote: > > Needless to say, I was psyched to see Safari on Windows as I don't need to > worry about > buying a Mac anymore.

I have a png fix on http://neurosesgalore.com/ for the background and I know it works in IE6, but when I load it in the stand alone, it fails. Thanks for the linux specs, that is going to help.

Brice, I've notice some odd issues with using ie6 running along side ie7, activeX issues and filter issues. Have you notice those issues with Multiple IE? What distro are you using for linux?

It's nice to see Microsoft giving out these VPC images for application compatibility. It's too bad that you have to run IE6, and IE7 in separate instances though (for your hardware at least... ;) ). Personally I've been using VMware Server (free) running Windows 2003 under a *nix environment to test applications/websites in the browsers. Needless to say, I was psyched to see Safari on Windows as I don't need to worry about buying a Mac anymore.

Another alternative for running a Linux environment from Windows is the Free (GPL'd) qemu tool (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/), which runs under Linux, Mac OS/X, Windows, and OpenSolaris (and probably others). You can find several pre-configured Linux images for qemu on my web site: http://wanderinghorse.net/computing/qemu/ Simply download an image and open it with qemu and you're all set. You may need to install Apache and whatnot, but for some images (e.g. Debian) that is trivial as long as the qemu network emulation is working (it normally does). :D
