If you do not do the special dance described in the bug, <em>the dhtml debugger will not work in any known version of Safari.</em></li> <li><a href="http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-4210";>drawview gradients broken in Firefox</a> This is due to lack of support in the DHTML canvas tag for opacity in gradients. Firefox is among the browsers that doesn't accept opacity information for gradient stops. Similar effects can be achieved with color.</li> <li><a href="http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-2958";>lztest-textstyle.lzx fails in legals</a> The foreground and background colors of text are not handled the same in swf and in dhtml. There are minor display differences between SWF and DHTML, because SWF uses a separate background movieclip, whereas DHTML just uses bgcolor attribute of text. The workaround is to put an extra view in behind the text view.
