Safari and Acid2

April 28th, 2005

Congrats hyatt and team on being the first with an in-house browser engine that fully passes the Acid2 test.

hyatt also provides every single patch; it would be interesting to see if patching and re-compiling WebCore yourself can be fully accomplished to have an Acid2-compliant Safari 1.3.

The race goes on…

That’s an interesting idea. I presumed the patched were for KHTML people, but patching WebKit is a great idea!

I’ll let you go first…

btw: i am seeing lots of html entities on your site:

« 64 bits… per second!

etc.

Well actually, I’m not sure if they work this way on KHTML at all. The first ten are written in C++ and thus might be directly for KHTML, but the last one is written in Objective C++ and part of KWQ (Apple’s fake Qt layer: “KDE Without Qt”). Might need some additional tweakage.

I also can’t test patching myself, as I’m not on a Mac right now. (How far has Nokia come with porting WebCore to GNOME?)

“btw: i am seeing lots of html entities on your site:”

Hmm, are you saying the entities don’t resolve to characters for you?

Heh, indeed. I was actually more preoccupied about XHTML validation… and compatibility. The only browser I couldn’t get working was IE 5.2 or something in a friend’s Mac notebook. Then again IE6 is giving me a hard time with that glitch.

It works under IE 7.0? In my opinion is very helpful article. Can I add link to this article on my site?

Thank you for your great artcle. I appreciate it knowing that it is not so common to find that kind of stuff on the net

Your Own Thoughts

I'd love to hear your input. Just try to stick to a few rules:

Please, think before you post. It's not a chatroom — you have plenty of time to avoid gratuitous abbreviations (no "u" for "you", please) and to proofread. Everyone benefits from comments which have had an extra minute of thinking.
Though I virtually never delete a comment, I do reserve the right to do so for ones I deem irrelevant, unthoughtful, as trolling or as flaming, or otherwise hostile.
Unfortunately, you cannot currently edit. When necessary, do feel free to double-post; I will merge your posts together, and correct mistakes for you if you so wish.
Likewise, you cannot delete. You can, however, ask me to do it by contacting me. Please only do so if truly necessary.
I reserve the right not to approve comments with bogus names or e-mail addresses, but will typically leave them published as well.

Before you comment for the first time (or, after you have deleted cookies), you will have to answer a little challenge to prove that you are not a spammer.

Comments are written in Markdown.
