It works great with Safari. The problem is that it hasn’t been tested in so long no one has bothered to try anything recent. Safari 4 works beautiful.

Edit out the browser check found in /scripts/wysiwyg.js, line 2020:

isBrowserCompatible: function() {
// Validate browser and compatiblity
// if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf(’Safari’) != -1 ) || !document.getElementById || !document.designMode){
// //no designMode (Safari lies)
// return false;
// }
return true;
},

Just remove the whole IF statement. Works like a charm.

This looks very nice, but i dock it HUGE points for not working in Safari. The market for Safari might only be 4%, but it is still the third largest browser market. The JavaScript engine in Safari supports 99.9% of what Firefox does and way more CSS techniques.

@Jake,

Thanks for that. I hadn’t realized that Safariş was not supported. I’ll give it a try with Safari.

Note that “cross-browser” = IE 5.5+ (Windows), Firefox 1.0+, Mozilla 1.3+ and Netscape 7+…

_not Safari_
