Safari for Windows! Or…

“Apple does it again!”… one of the things I thought when I heard Safari was also available for Windows from now. But after downloading and installing, I saw just this:

Safari 3 Beta for Windows screenshot: no user interface, text and possibility to type a URL

Unfortunately it is a bit buggy. So with a bit patience Apples latest action will be very worthwhile for everybody.

As web designers using a PC now also can test and debug their sites within Safari, the web will be a step closer to better performance.

But not only this is good for everybody, Apple itself will be the big winner. With more respect for their browser, but also OS and their media format Quicktime.

Hope to hear more soon on this nice development!

A useful Firefox bug

While testing a web page for compatibility when images are turned off, I discovered a handy bug in Firefox.

When I renamed to directory (so the references to images in the HTML and CSS files were broken), and then refreshed, everything went as expected: no images were shown. But when I refreshed for the second time, Firefox displayed the images again. I refreshed again: no images. I refreshed sometimes again, and the images were shown again.

I think that -for some reason- Firefox sometimes shows the images from the cache. But that’s nonetheless useful when testing a website on accessibility.
