Seems that newest release of Safari fails the acid 2 test.

When you run the test, it seems there is no problem, you get the smiley face rendered correctly…

Safari Debug Menu

Safari comes with a debug menu, so us Javascript programmers can actually debug our code, only problem is, it’s not enabled by default. Took me a while to work out how to do it on Windows Vista at work, as the folder location has changed compared to XP.

Anyway, here’s how to do it on the Mac, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

Mac

Open up the terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Windows XP / Vista

With windows, you will manually need to edit the file called “Preferences.plist”. On XP, you should find that in…

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari

For Vista, it is located in…

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Safari

Open the file up in a text editor, and add a new key entry…

<key>IncludeDebugMenu</key>
<true/>

Make sure you nest it correctly inside the dict tag.

Save it and restart Safari. You should now see the debug menu at the end.

Credits: I take no credit for the above solutions, you can find the answer on many blogs by searching Google, though the Vista information was a little harder to find, so altogether they are :p

Safari For Windows

If you haven’t been following this, then check it out…

http://www.apple.com/safari/

Safari is now available for windows.

I’ve used Safari at work for testing applications, am not a fan of it myself, but it’s good to see Apple finally doing something for Windows users. Developers now have no excuse if their website doesn’t show correctly in Safari. Basically that is all I will be using it for.
