We had a report from a user of an error on one of our apps when viewing with
Safari, but even that user confirmed it works fine for him in IE.  I just
got a Mac OSX a few hours ago and started testing things out with Safari and
found a lot of things don't work right--some consistently but most
inconsistently.

Our graphic designer says he uses Safari as his primary browser but often
has trouble with some public web sites and when that happens he switches to
IE for those sites and they work fine.

So, is Safari really ready for prime time?  It is fully released and out of
beta, right?  What do average users (non-programmers) think when they run
into pages that don't display properly in Safari?  Do they blame (maybe
curse) the developers?

How many people out there say they support Safari on their sites?  Do you
actively test with it?  If so are there known issues with work-arounds?

We're having trouble with both Flash related and pure-HTML pages.  In one
case we have a frameset and a little over half the time the bottom frame
never shows up.  We can do a view source and all the right content is there.
If we save it locally and load it's there.  If we open the frame in a new
window it's there.  But inside the frameset, it's not always there--but it's
inconsistent.

Also, is there a good mailing list or forum for safari questions?  All I saw
was the Apple web-development list which is everything including the kitchen
sink in one list (apache, dhtml, _javascript_, php, mysql, safari, whatever).
Not my idea of a productive list and since being subscribed for a few hours
I haven't had a single message yet, so maybe it's not active either.

Thanks,

Sam
