[Safari for Win] Rendering idiosyncrasies

    Can I trust Safari 3 for Windows to have the exact same rendering engine of its Mac brother? In other words, can I safely use it to check my code as if I was using a Mac with Safari 3?

    And... btw, is it me or Safari 3 completely ignores the dropdown box down arrow as part of the control size when set with the width CSS attribute?

    Safari for windows uses the same rendering engine as safari for mac. Both will render Identical as far as I know.

    If you have safari for windows already, you can find the latest (daily) updates of the rendering engine at:

    webkit(dot)org

    Before saying something doesn't work and giving up, I'd try it in the latest engine first - the issue may have been resolved already, just not in safari's release cycle!

    best of luck

    no probs sugar-beans ;)

    I'd also recommend if you're doing any design work, FireBug, if you haven't already tried it. The newest webkit engine for safari has a read-only element inspector under the right click menu that's amazing as well, if you download it make *SURE* you try it. It will also count download times and all that good stuff - indispensable tool!
