I am not sure whether I should claim credit for this, but Apple fixed my Safari bug! I had been trying to do some tricky stuff with background images. I know… I probably just could not figure out the correct way to do it. In the process I found this wierd condition where the background-image would not tile over the whole page. As I looked at it more, I actually discovered that depending on the order of div elements in the source, it would not even render the whole page! Well, I set up a minimal test page and used the built-in error reporting feature in Safari to let Apple know wbout it. Lo and behold… Apple just released Mac OS X 10.2.8 through Software Update — which “Includes several enhancements for Safari” — and the problem is fixed. Thanks, Apple!
No fixed plans. Not intent upon arriving.
