With the beta of Safari 3 out I decided it was time to check up on some of the Javascripts in use on Wikipedia. These are the results so far.

editIf you want me to check a script that you wrote or that you want to use, then please drop me a line in this section, or on my talkpage.
- Does User:ais523/catwatch.js work in Safari? (It's had browser incompatibilities before, so I'd like to know how portable it is.) By the way, User:ais523/editsection0tab.js was created specifically to get around problems with a similar script in Safari, so if you can verify that that would be great. --ais523 17:21, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
I need to investigate why sortable for wikitables isn't working. http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/wikibits.js Probably due to differences in DOM tree ? --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 23:49, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- The wikitable datesort issue is a bug in ts_getInnerText() due to Safari 3 now supporting .innerText() in an incompatible way. See webkit bug #14805. --TheDJ (talk • contribs)
