More Gripes About Safari
I have come to really not like Safari, perhaps even more so than Internet Explorer 7 (of course IE 6 will always have a special place in my heart of hate). Recently when attempting to implement the “Sliding Doors of CSS” from A List Apart, I noticed that universally changing the default font size (to 62.5%) is not in the capabilities of this browser. More over, you can’t highlight an element on a Web page, then right-click (or control-click, for the few Mac users out there) and view the source code of just that section. The only option available is to view the source code for the entire page. That’s lame in my opinion, but leave it to Apple to limit your options.
Another beef I have with Safari is that you can’t view a site’s CSS file directly in the browser. Attempting to do so just causes the file to be downloaded onto your hard drive and then you have to go out of the browser and open it separately in a text document (or Dreamweaver, or whatever your code editor/viewer of choice is). Again, leave it to Apple to limit your options. This is probably the biggest reason I’m not an Apple fan; they limit your choices thereby forcing you to do things their way.
