A JavaScript Safari.

Apple has posted
an article about JavaScript support in Macintosh based browsers, and Safari supposedly scores well (but doesn't win). In my experience, the JavaScript engine is totally screwed up when it comes to dealing with forms, especially when doing client side validation onSubmit. In an internal web app I work with, we have a checkbox that gets its state checked to do an eval on another form element. No matter which state it's in, it gets tripped off for some reason.
I can't even begin to support Safari until the JavaScript engine is fixed, and hopefully the final production version of Safari will be pretty solid, but even then, I know I'll be tweaking our scripts. Just call me Sisyphus.
Comment posting has been turned off because I don't have enough time and will to deal with the constant comment spamming. I'm very sorry and will fix this sometime soon (soon = before 2004 ends).
