They are different engines from a JavaScript & DOM perspective. So while they both support most of the same JavaScript & DOM features, there are differences so you need to exercise the usual caution. I don't know what the differences are exactly but I've seen sites that have JS fail in Chrome that works in Safari 3.1.

Does anyone know of any distinct differences in CSS rendering between the 2 browsers? ___ Christian Fagan Fagan Design fagandesign.com.au<http://fagandesign.com.au> ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
