Had the same problem (I'm guessing) with your blog. When I switched themes to "rust" I no longer saw any blog entries. I was also unable to switch back to the default. I purged the cache and cookies, but the problem remained. The latest version (v60) seems to have fixed this issue. I sent the bug report and a screen shot via the bug report function.

Look back through Dave's previous Safari entries, this is evidently a completely different bug relating to stylesheets.

I'm having a problem on my website as well. I'm using CSS borders to create a line above a bunch of spans, which work great in all gecko-based browsers, and even in IE (mac and pc), but Safari keeps choking and displaying them entirely wrong.

I've sent in bugs via the bug report, but it looks like Safari has some problems with the css BORDER element.

todd: Safari's CSS border bugs are well documented at diveintomark.com.

I was having a background image problem in Safari, as well, but it might well be different from Zeldman's. I managed to figure out that my problem didn't actually relate to background images per se, but rather that importing CSS with the STYLE tag doesn't seem to work in Safari.

More accurately, Safari doesn't like the following markup:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
@import url(index.css);
</STYLE>

I believe it should be valid markup, and works in Mozilla derivatives as well as MacIE.

For now I switched to using a LINK tag for linking to external styles.

I'll have to retract my previous statemets, a simplified testcase seemed to work fine with the @import method. So it appears my background image issue was related to straight up background images after all. I'll have to investigate.

I'm having issues too. Ever since I clicked on the "Rust" Page Theme, I haven't been able to get rid of it...ugh.

How do I get my Safari comments in my weblog to show up in the Trackback? Do I have to insert some code in my log or RSS feed?

Chris - I think your weblog has to support trackback. I don't know what you're using. I read up on it, and trackback works by receiving post data containing the relevant information, so your weblog has to specifically send the data to this one. I even made a hack trackback by writing a page with the info I wanted Dave to see (for the GUI response trackback - I actually did CSS/JS information) with a button that sent the right post data, then deleted the button from the page after it was registered by trackback.

the CSS style sheets dont seem to affect the buttons or textfields on my site. in Internet Explorer the buttons are blue, but the buttons in Safari are the system wide buttons in OS X.

This seems to be the case on every website that i have ran across that has used any CSS on a text field, drop down menu, or buttons.

I know this is off-topic, but I just had a really cool idea. Since you guys are working on XML support, and the Keynote XML schema was just released, I think it would be just fantastic if Safari would be capable of viewing Keynote files. Not editing, just viewing. That would be an awesome feature, and it would further the integration that Apple is famous for.

While we're on the subject of Safari's handling of background images, has anyone else noticed that if you specify an animated gif as a background image the animation doesn't play in Safari, which often leads to just a blank image if there's an inital pause built into the animation.

Safari build 60 chokes and pinwheels, please check in your revised versions, as I haven't been seeded anything more recent yet.

I mention this, because zeldman's site links to it, and it works fine in gecko based browsers, which Safari emulates for the most part.

Both dreams and people crash down.

well put dowsett
