Ok, it seems that I've been barking up the wrong tree. new Element('div')
works in safari (if you specify the right content-type), but new
Element('div', {class: 'cls'}) doesn't. I presume Safari uses 'class' for
something else? Anyways, I now have a new problem, but I'll post that in a
separate thread.
Thanks
