clear:none bug in Safari

clear:none bug in Safari posted 14th May 2004

The Web developers among you may be interested in what appears to be a Safari bug. Essentially clear:none does not over-ride clear:left. I’ve posted more details and an example in my sandbox.

I’ve found that Safari also has a bug with float:left. Putting a table in the div with a fixed width seems to be a good workaround. An example is at jlipkin.com/safari.

Notice that in Safari (only, as far as I know) the three consecutive images without much text in between them are displayed inline.

Safari 1.3: Those of you who have just updated OS X to 10.3.9 may have noticed that Safari is now a full point release older at 1.3. And this means that the clear:none bug I reported a year ago is finally fixed. In fairness Dave Hyatt fixed this bug ages ago but he’s had to wait…
New browsers: Some recent browser releases: Mozilla has released 1.3 Alpha and 1.02. Opera has released 7 for Windows Beta 2. Apple has released Safari Beta 2. For web developers, the last one is of particular note as Safari will presumably be making its way on to all new Apple machines. …
Skinny images in Safari: It seems that some of the images on Clagnut are being rendered as skinny strips in Safari 1.2. I’m confused as to why.
Problems with font rendering on Macs: Just recently Jeffrey Zeldman was bemoaning the sub-standard state of text rendering in Firefox on a Mac. And the sad truth is he only skimmed the surface; Firefox, Safari, Opera and Camino may render even the same font differently.
Thoughtful dialogue: I love the new version of TopStyle (Pro 3). Its colour picker is a piece of genius, packed with so many features (all of them useful in their own way), particularly to colour ‘blind’ users such as yours truly.
