Safari

Dave Hyatt finally got around to posting to his weblog about the release of Safari 1.2. Some really good stuff has gone into it and congratulations are in order for all involved. Sadly, my most anticipated feature, LiveConnect, appears to be broken. I’ve seen it work when going from JavaScript to Java, but never managed to get JSObject working to communicate from Java to JavaScript. Dave’s blog is actually the first place that I’ve ever seen that actually mentions going both ways, or at least that what I assume he means by:

allowing for bi-directional communication between Javascript and Java Certainly Apple closed the original bug I had filed about JSObject not working. (I’ve since opened a new bug report about the new issues). If anyone has a simple example of Java to JavaScript communication working in Safari I’d love to see it – I just can’t believe that Apple wouldn’t have done any testing on it so it must work in at least some situations.
