Sorry, not to answer your question.... but, in reference to IE on Mac and Safari as browsers... I have found the following compatibility point...
We had experienced many issues with Mac's and our web site. It was after a site update, our customers experienced many 'strange' page display problems (in fact we still have these issues). We are PC based. We purchased a Mac and when 'playing' around on IE and Safari, etc, I suddenly noticed that the "problems" were not evident on Safari. Through more trial and error testing of the code, we found that the <SPAN> tags being used were not liked by IE or Netscape on the Mac, although Safari seems fine with them? So, we are looking at now being able to change the <SPAN>'s to <DIV>'s as a quick fix (which does seem to work). The code is still a mess (sigh!), but we are moving to a new platform, which I have tested with the Mac and it all seems fine. *** Any reliable stats on percentage of Mac users who use Safari. Currently, it is not included in our Test plans for Browsers. I need some evidence to include it, but would not know where to Mac-look for it ? Any tips ?
