G'day everyone!
I have a site (not validated, not strict anything) which works just
fine in my browser (Opera for Windows) but a user recently complained
that none of the links work in Safari (Mac). If you have Safari, could
you please take a look to see if the links work, and if not, can you
speculate as to why not?
The URL is http://www.vertaal.org/spel/ .
Thanks!

I'm running the latest Safari and the links following the "URL:"
appear to be active. I didn't follow each one, but they behave
as I would expect active links to behave. Are there other links
that are not next to the "URL:"s?
The "mailto" link and the jumps at the page bottom appear to be
active as well.

The markup didn't look too bad. A couple things I saw:
You might want to put a line like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-
1">
in your <head>
This line:
<link href="../style.css" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" />
-Why the trailing slash?
Why not "upgrade" to html 4.01?

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.

If you want to test for yourself, you could always get the latest Knoppix
live CD. That has Konqueror which, while not 100% equivalent, will in
almost all cases render as Safari would (they use pretty much the same
engine). As it goes, KHTML has more maintainable code, but WebCore has more
new stuff added, they should both agree on easy stuff like links.

Possibly they were having a problem with "URL: http://www.spel.co.za/"
(and others) which shows an URL string, but is not a link. You link on the
image but that is not at all obvious unless they happen to wave the mouse
over it.

Better to get the server to send a real HTTP header to that effect, for
which the meta tag is merely an inferior substitute.

Yes, but my thought was that the OP was perhaps having his trouble
simply because the line was missing under his current configuration.

Is it possible to fool Javascript running on a Mac Safari web
browser into believing it is a PC IE browser? We have the following JS
code that is detecting both Mac and Safari. Sadly, we do not have
control over the code.

Hi,
I'd like to use onbeforeunload to submit a form before leaving a page.
This works in Firefox and IE. Safari, however, blithely ignores this.
Does anyone know of a workaround for Safari? Or another way to do the
same thing in Safari? (that is, intercept a request to leave the page).
I tried Safari 2.02 on Tiger.
Thanks!
