Safari Passes the Acid2 Test

Posted by Zonk on from the congratulations-its-a-web-browser! dept.

TigerX writes "The Mac web browser Safari has become the first browser to pass the Acid2 test. Acid2 is a CSS/HTML test suite put out by the Web Standards Project (WASP). Developer David Hyatt had been working on the project for the past few weeks. Details can be found at his blog. The patched Safari is not yet avaliable for public consumption. It is unknown when the patches will appear in a public version of Safari."

    So... the test was designed to see if a browser can use some weird code that most web designers would never use, and could (in this case) easily be done with an image tag? I don't see the point.

    "so it would be great if they pay back."

    Could you possibly be more pathetic?

    Apple gives more to open source than just about any other commercial company out there. Why don't you spend a little time learning all the stuff Apple gives to the open source world and less time embarrassing yourself here on Slashdot.

    Fucking dunce.
