Hi,

A few comments here for what it’s worth.  In Anders case, I don’t believe that 
it had much to do with Safari’s ability to handle the web-page, it’s more 
likely the web developers ability to label buttons and adhere to accessibility 
guidelines in their design and coding.  With respect to Safari being a 
mainstream browser and its ability to handle complicated web-sites, I believe 
that is an inaccurate statement.  I would venture to say that if you were a 
sighted user, those sites would most likely work just fine.  In many cases, it 
appears to the the combination of the browser, the specific plugins, and their 
ability to work in conjunction with VO.  Going back to site design and coding, 
there are sites who specifically optimized their site for IE, in essence, 
attempting to force users to employ IE, rather a narrow and lazy way to code in 
my opinion.  Sites should be designed with all users in mind, not just those 
who happen to run Windows and some version of IE.

JMO.

I have been finding that safari fails quite a bit in certain websites where I 
try to make a purchase. I can think of three websites off-hand where I recently 
was kicked out using Safari. It just doesn’t work with Safari. Even my bank 
yells a bit when I log on with safari although it lets me in.
In these cases, I use internet explorer in a windows VM and problem solved.

I checked to see that safari had JAVA enabled, but beyond that I can’t think of 
what might be the problem. Maybe Safari just isn’t a main stream browser and 
can’t handle sophisticated websites.
I like using safari, but I can’t rely on it for all my internet browsing and 
need a backup like IE in windows. Too bad!
