yeah, just comment out the stuff as John suggested. If the line number is not 2020 search for «safari» and you’d be fine. Seems to work nicely in safari 5.1

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_
