⌘ :: Wish list: web browser Safari

logoThis my wishes list for the browser Safari. I don't have very solid preference of web-browser, but right now it's still the fastest (watch out! mozilla-firebird is running up) and the most beautiful browser on the Mac. Following are my wishes list for current Safari (Release 1.0 / v85). My focus is on the multi-byte display and usability for my daily usage.

BTW, Mr. David Hyatt closed the comment option in his blog due to the flooding of bug reports in the comments. I can not judge if it's wise or not, but he did make a point that tracking back is a good way to explain your bug scenarios. I agree with that after I read professor Distler's blog entry.
(Update: this list got re-organized. This was inspired by the suggestion of David Hyatt. A wishes list can also be an increasing weblog entry. And I updated some of the terminologies after reading Dave Walker's blog.)

    Features:
  1. MathML support. (Please!)
  2. Tooltips support for anchor tags with "title" property, image tag with "alt" property and <acronym> / <abbr> .
    tooltips
  3. "Send URL to ... " function.
  4. Iframe support (I know it's M$ly evil, but we still need it.) (wrong description)
  5. Storing passwords in Keychain (Please!)
  6. Auto-configured proxy setting
  7. Support for graphic formats like ppm (Portable Pixel Map) and pgm (portable graymap)

看到這篇突然想問，麻將有沒有發現？用Safari寫中文blog，只要貼進去的字數一多，句子就開始掉字。掉到令人牙癢癢的...

挖狗說也許是MT 2.6.4的問題。 （挖狗旁邊否認道：啥？我哪有說什麼！） 可是用Camino貼文章就不會這樣...

我用 wiki 的時候就發現了，這是跟 MT 無關的。

用kung-log，不要用safari来写blog，就没有这个麻烦。

Yes, that's what I was doing recently, but we still have problem writing wiki if we are going to paste a lot of multi-byte text. However I still strongly recommend Kung-log, it rocks. MacWorld ranked it as 4.5 mouses!

不但movabletype和wiki有漏字问题，而且用snipsnap也会出现无法定位和输入input box的问题。我学乖了，碰到这些要输入东西的时候，用mozilla或者ie.

Another bug I noticed in Safari that gets to me the most is that it misrenders fixed background images after scrolling too far. So far it only seems to apply to background images on the body.

處理 frame、跑馬燈跟同一個頁面裡的連結好像是爛掉的。請參考http://www.edu.tw/bicer/chinese.htm 用Mozilla跟Safari開出來的結果大大不同。
