Re: [WSG] Safari 1.3 vs Safari 2 differences

Gamma correction, min-/mix-width/height, this is the most visible 
difference between 1.2.4 (maybe 1.3) and 2.0, but since everyone I know 
has moved to Tiger, I don't assume this is a problem...

Re: [WSG] Safari 1.3 vs Safari 2 differences

Hi

I'm not sure, but given Safari and Konquerer run off the same base
(khtml) you could try searching the bugz database at opendarwin.org
and kde.org

http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specificorder=relevance+descbug_status=__all__product=WebKitcontent=
http://bugs.kde.org/simple_search.cgi?id=khtml

You may find some bugs there that match what you are seeing. In fact
what differences are you seeing and could it be put down to Safari 2
doing the right thing but your code not doing the right thing? It
happens, sometimes..

Safari 1.3 and 2.0 are supposed to be identical. There could be some 
display bugs due to a particular OS configuration (Panther vs Tiger), 
difference in font rendering, ... It shouldn't cause major layout 
problems though.


PS - Jan, Safari v312 (1.3, Panther) beats Safari v412 (2.0, Tiger) by 
35% in *my* stats.

RE: [WSG] Safari 1.3 vs Safari 2 differences

quoteSafari 1.3 and 2.0 are supposed to be identical/quote

I was recently working on a site that errors out completely in
Safari/Tiger but works great in Safari/Panther.  

The error in Tiger is too many http requests when downloading images.
However, viewing the activity bar for the same page, the error is shown
for random images .. There's no (observable-to-me) consistency.

Has anyone else witnessed a similar problem? I haven't located any
resources yet.

Are you sure that the Panther version of Safari you're using is 1.3? Safari
v1.3 *requires* 10.3.9, and in fact was part of that OS update. The
intention of the 1.3 update was to bring its rendering engine into line with
v2, effectively making them the same. You *should* be seeing the same
results in either version, OS-specific features aside (font rendering etc).

Having said all that, I'm not sure what's causing your error.

[WSG] Safari 1.3 vs Safari 2 differences

2005-08-17 Thread Shane Helm
Oh no. Not another browser difference to account for.  When does it  
ever end? :)

(Please excuse me if this has been discussed before and I missed it.)

Has anyone else been noticing differences on sites rendering  
differently in Safari 1.3 vs Safari 2?  I sure have in the 2 latest  
sites I've been involved in.  Anyone know a good resource to read or  
what exactly is different?


Just wondering.  Thanks for your time.

I would be interested in seeing a resource, but I wouldn't hold my 
breath. Safari seems to be slightly different as tied to different OS 
versions. That is, we've seen anomalies on Panther versions that are 
not apparent on Jaguar. Tiger bug fixes that are still broken on 
Panther and Jaguar and just about all scenarios in between. The good 
news is that much of it seems to involve rendering shortcuts 
introduced that affect active content, Javascript/DOM stuff or Flash 
Player stuff. On a completely static page, there are not terribly 
debilitating problems. But do post with resources, Surfin Safari seems 
to be a bit evasive - although they did quickly fix a bug that was 
affecting alistapart.com :-)


I've got a test page in to their bugbase and Macromedia recently filed 
one at my behest involving wmode in the Flash Player.
