Summer 2005 browsers' test set ?

VK
This question seems to be a troll-kind, but I'd really like to know
what would be the supported set of browsers so you can call your script
product "overall universal"?

I know that the current standards is the guideline. So putting it under
another angle:

While following the standards, whose "features", bugs, underdones,
curved-dones etc. should be taken into account to not loose a
*mesurable* part of your audience?

IMveryHO as of summer 2005 there are:

1) Firefox 1.0.4 / 1.0.5

2) Internet Explorer 5.5 / 6.0 / 6.0 SP1 (for Windows)

3) Internet Explorer 5 (for Mac)

> Konqueror (KDE 3.1+)

What is it actually? The browser of choice for Linux?
Safari 1.2+

Is it Macintosh OS with build-in browser or it's a proper name of the
browser?

It is a web browser (and more) created for the K Desktop
Environment. KDE is used on Linux, but could also be used on other
Unixes too.

Safari 1.2+

It is the proper name of the browser. The OS is called "OS X" (read:
OS 10). The most current version of OS X is version 10.4, nicknamed
Tiger.

Safari is based on the KHTML engine, the same as Konqueror, but have
branched it. Some changes made for Safari has made their way back to
Konqueror, and vice versa.
Nothing Google couldn't have told you.

Thank you for the info.

Well, I guess Safary is out of luck then. I'm not buying Macintosh just
to check the script under Safary. Many people neither I guess.
Actually if for all TextRange-like operation it has only NN4's
document.getSelection(), then nothing really to check there. It still
has to pass its long way to be a browser.

And hope that if it works under the latest Opera, then it will also
work under the latest Konqueror.

So the final list I guess:

Firefox 1.0.4 and higher
Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher (Windows)
Opera 8.0 and higher
Internet Explorer 5.0 [nothing higher made](Macintosh - still not
directly available on Windows but at least there is a profound
Microsoft docs plus bug database).
