I'm a Windows guy and know virtually nothing about the Mac world. How
can I ensure compatibility with Mac browsers? My question is motivated
by the fact I have a new client who is running a Mac.
Thank you!!

Use valid HTML 4.01 markup. Do not use MS proprietary crap. Avoid CSS
hacks. Preview in Firefox and it will probably work in Safari...

Do you have something a little more tangible than "it will probably
work in Safari"? What happens when it works in Firefox and not in
Safari? Can you please explain what you mean by CSS hacks? I'm sorry
but CSS is still new to me so I am not familiar with the lingo.

There's now a Windows release of Safari anyway, so just get that.

My point was if you make valid HTML 4.01 strict markup, you can validate
here: http://validator.w3.org/
The W3C Markup Validation Service
And avoid all those stylesheet hacks you get IE to work. AND it looks
fine in Firefox that chances are it will display as you wish for Mac
Safari. Both have little trouble with *valid* markup. Now MSIE is
another story.
What happens when it works in Firefox and not in
Safari?
Does happen often, both are very good browsers.
Can you please explain what you mean by CSS hacks?
Google MSIE CSS hacks... a plethora of examples....

Make sure it works well in Windows Firefox, Konqueror, Opera; in
fact, make sure it works on any modern Win browser except
Internet Explorer as a good prediction for working on a Mac. This
is not to say, of course, that you should not also make it work
well in Internet Explorer 6 and 7.

Hi everybody,
I'm planning to use serialization to persist an object (and possibly

this issue.
For example, I have a class MyClass consisting of 100 fields.
