Safari for Windows and Safari for MacOSX XHTML rendering question

    Hi , i'm wondering if the "two" browsers are going to render the pages i'm preparing in different way. Unfortunately i can't check them on a Mac while my customer have one.

    My hope is that the two versions of Safari will render the page with no differences.

    Do you have a positive answer to my question... ?

    I have not found any differences between the two.

    Safari on a mac will render the same as Safari on windows. Also, Chrome, the google browser also uses the same rendering engine (webkit) and you can sure run Chrome on windows

    Beware of trusting chrome in regard to safari rendering though, and for windows for that matter. For the most part you are safe, but remember that windows uses a different font renderer from the mac, safari uses the apple font renderer on windows (a behavior you can turn off), and mac users might not have the same M$ 'core' fonts installed, so the widths of letters - and therin words, may end up different breaking some layouts, or just making them look silly.

    As some posters said already they should render the page the same way actually theres no reason they wouldn't render your XHTML the same, browsers only normally have CSS rendering bugs but since these are using the same rendering engine you should see no problem.
