Here's a December 8 post on the Surfin' Safari site. Items 14
and especially 16 sound like they may solve our link posting
problem. I'll post a notice when the next Safari update
(hopefully incorporating these changes) comes out.
December 08, 2003Progress Report
Posted at 12:57 AM
We've made fantastic progress in WebCore since 1.1. Here are
a few of the highlights:
(1) Border collapsing in tables
(2) DHTML performance improvements (including optimized
layout paths for positioned elements and smart repainting
when objects move).
(3) Support for tabbing to all controls in a web page
(4) Support for the css2 outline property
(5) Support for the css2 cursor property
(6) Support for tabbing to links in a web page
(7) Tabindex support
(8) The title attribute is now displayed in a tooltip
(9) Small-caps support (synthesized as in other browsers)
(10) Marquees (flame away)
(11) Support for the DOM click() method
(12) Support for window.print()
(13) DOM lvl 2 (and even 3) event handling improvements
(14) better support for malformed HTML
(15) Minimum font size fixed to be like it was in Safari 1.0
(16) Smart line breaking so that long URLs don't screw up
page content
(17) The two bugs listed here are fixed
(18) Major improvements to :before/:after handling, including
support for floating and positioning :before/:after content
(css2 did not allow this, css2.1 does). Many of the bugs
described here are fixed.
(19) The first-letter/text-transform "text doubling" bug is
fixed.
(20) :first-letter now works even when applied across spans,
so the letter T in Thoughts from Eric on meyerweb.com now
shows up properly.
(21) :hover/:active have been rewritten to be faster and to
avoid bugs related to hovering over floats and relative
positioned elements. Fixes the problems on diveintomark and
mezzoblue.com.
(22) Many of the crashes/hangs reported via the Safari bug
button have been addressed.Keep the feedback coming!
