Wordpress Editor Doesn't Support Safari
Bad news for Safari users: no one know yet how long it will take before Safari (default browser in Mac) will support the editors used in Wordpress. As a Safari user myself, it find it better than Firefox, faster and easier to use too.
Unfortunately, this is all I get with the Visual Rich Editor turned on:
According to the Wordpress support forums:
In Safari, the WYSIWYG editor and Quicktag buttons will function, but not as intended. Some earlier builds of the WYSIWYG editor for WordPress v1.6/2.0 even caused Safari to crash whenever the editor was loaded. This is due to a bug in Safari’s javascript support, not WordPress. Since the WordPress developers have no way of correcting this, they have chosen to disable the WYSIWYG editor and Quicktag buttons for Safari users

The editors will (hopefully) work in the next versionn of safari. Right now I’m in a fix – I browse the Internet with Safari, and switch to Firefox when I need to blog 
… and that sucks!

Got something to say?
Has anyone tried the latest beta of the webkit? I mainly use Firefox, so I haven’t.
You can get the webkit here:

I was working on a project at Apple that required Safari’s Java support to be enhanced. The latest version of Safari didn’t work, but the latest webkit beta did. It I were trying to get some Java stuff to work in Safari, I would try thte webkit.
