Code in Firefox vs. Safari? Any major differences?

Mar 04.2006

I’m trying to find an example of code that works correctly in Firefox but not in Safari. Can be CSS, HTML, and or Javascript. I’ve searched everywhere to try and find an obvious answer (browser comparision charts..etc.) and can’t seem to find a simple straight-forward answer of something that is ‘known to work’ in Firefox but not in Safari. I’m not talking about bad code either.
Thanks in advance –

eg:
[CODE]document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(who,'').getPropertyValue('font-size') [/CODE]

There is a styleSheets object, however

Good question sushidub- I'll keep an eye on this thread for other users experience.

@felgallMar 05.2006 — There should be no difference in (X)HTML support.

The latest Firefox supports part of CCS3 which is not yet supported by other browsers.

Firefox also supports more of the final section of the Javascript DOM than other browsers.

Success!
