Safari 3
Posted by Charlie
Yesterday Apple released a beta version of Safari 3 for both Mac OS X and Windows.
We've wanted to support Safari for a long time, but haven't due to its lack of SVG support and rich text editing. Safari 3 fixes those issues - so we went straight to work getting it to work.
Unfortunately, we've had mixed success so far. On the positive side, the site renders beautifully and rich text editing seems to work well enough.
On the downside, the SVG support seems buggy. In particular, Safari does not correctly recognize mouseover events on features on the map when the map is offset from the top left corner of the page. In addition, as you drag a map around, Safari seems to "lose" feature - they flash in and out of existence.
For the short term, we'll update within the next week to provide read-only access to Safari. At the same time, we'll see if we can come up with any workarounds for the issues we've encountered and submit the apppropriate bug reports to Apple.
As for older versions of Safari, we are considering releasing a modified version of our software that lets you view/edit points but not lines or features. Does that sound like a reasonable thing to do?
