I hope this is the right forum for this...
I have a site which uses a header which is a ul,li style which is largely generated by php code.
Anyway, I test it on 4 main browsers: IE6,IE7,FF2 and Safari3. The headers is always instant wherever I scroll through it on Safari. On all the others it's quite lagging, even FF. I was under the impression that FF was the best browser out there. Is that wrong? Is Safari actually pretty amazing? (Before this I've really only used FF.) Is there some reason why Safari's response time is so much quicker than the others?
Thanks

there is not a 'plain best' browser ... the 'speed' of a browser depends on a lot of things like rendering CSS-instructions, building DOM-Nodes, handling memory during its runtime, handling multiple window instances (browser windows, frames, tabs), executing javascript statements or other plugins, integration into the host-operating system and many more. for a short, but little outdated comparison have a look here ... to get an idea of some differences and how they could be compared ...
kind regards

Thanks gits. That's interesting. I guess I'll just accept Safari's speed on my site and enjoy it!
Cheers

Hi...
Just noticed something odd... In old ASP if you had query parameters that
were invalid for their encoding (broken utf-8, say), ASP would give you back
chars representing the 8-bit byte value of the broken encoding, so you still
got something for every input byte.
This appears to have changed radically in ASP.Net, going down to the...
