| Cross-browser compatibility (Opera, Safari) ¶ | |
| Are there any (probably post-3.0 plans) to look at additional browsers like Safari and Opera? Has anyone been able to get HTML area working on those browsers? | |
| Re: Cross-browser compatibility (Opera, Safari) ¶ | |
| Well, there are many people interested in this (and I would be, too). Unfortunately, it is not yet possible because these browsers lack support for a few basic things required for such an application to work. Examples are:
Currently, in my opinion, the only browsers providing useable DHTML support are Firefox (and any Gecko derivative) and IE 6/Win. [but to make things clear: this opinion relates to really complex DHTML applications; Opera/Safari may be very good for day-to-day Web surfing, but dynamic stuff just won't work right; both of them are years behind Firefox or even IE at this point]. | |

| i have a newer developer version of Safari (v168) that adds a javascript console (about time), but doesn't enable the editor, yet. This is a different branch for Safari than the 2.0 that is promised with the next OS X version. According to Dave Hyatt's blog (a lead developer on Safari), the next version will make use of the contenteditable attribute. So there's hope for the future. ... .joe | |
