Re: [WSG] E-commerce
Hi Kevin, (My apologies if this comes across as blunt).. Your question is like asking what a good overall software solution is, it all depends on requirements and target environment. If you provide some more specific information I'm sure someone can help you out. =] Rob Kevin Erickson wrote: Hi, Does anyone have input on what is a good Web standards e-commerce solution?

Opera 10 was unveiled already last year and do pass the web standards Acid 3 test. Safari 4 was unveiled this month.

Re: [WSG] Safari Beta 4
Well Webkit technically passed Acid 3 around the same time as Opera - late March '08 (28th) - but whilst Opera's Presto engine renders the final animation properly it doesn't render it smoothly, thus hasn't passed the test - so I reckon Mr Todd Budnikas was misinformed (: it's really just a pissing contest though with no relevance to the real world. it would be much more interesting to discuss IE8's compliance again. All compliant sites that I've made render fine in Safari 3 4 and FIrefox 3 but always fail to work 100% on IE... side note: I've been using Safari 4 for a couple of days and I absolutely love it - it loads and renders pages much faster than FF and JS intensive pages are faster then ever - besides, who really uses Opera anyway?! Additionally I've found Safari's developer tools indispensable and much more useful than FF's Web Dev addon, especially with tools like activity monitor and element inspectors as they have the ability to test and examine AJAX, JS and plugin content. daniel a. thornbury On 26/02/2009, at 10:34 PM, Dyre Hult wrote: Opera 10 was unveiled already last year and do pass the web standards Acid 3 test.

[WSG] Safari 4 and 3.2 Running Simultaneously
Hi folks... I want to install Safari 4 in Microsoft Windows for testing pourposes, but I don't want to dismiss Safari 3.2. I've been searching for a solution (installing Safari 4 without affect the current installation of Safari 3.2), but I didn't find anything. I find out that the Safari 4 installation updates the Webkit Framework, not only the browser itself... so, I guess installing in a different folder won't work. I'm aware that Safari 4 includes a User Agent changer, but I guess this tool is not for rendering, only for masquerade in order to use certain webapps. Any one knows how to accomplish this goal? I'll appreciate any suggestion.

Now approach it with a keyboard - there aren't any links (in their theoretical example) for the focus to go to, so the menu can't be used - even those the client supports JavaScript. Next approach it with a touch screen (on an iPhone for example). The client supports JS. The client can click. But the client can't hover the pointer over anything. It's broken again.
