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.
