Confirmed that Safari 1.2 is fine for My Library and the rest bombed on at least one test (and you can't be a little bit pregnant). I didn't see the results myself, but if history is any indicator, the "at least one" report likely translates to "many". Now that I notice you were talking of Safari 1.0.3 and not 1.2, I am almost certain that the query features (among others) are pruned, so SlickSpeed is just blundering by trying to call a $ function that isn't there. I suspect I will go ahead and fix up these frameworks now that I am hosting them on my site. First thing I want is for TaskSpeed to run in IE5.0 (it does actually work in 5.5, for mine only though) and make it detect when the API features it needs are absent. Same for SlickSpeed as one of the first lines in slickspeed.js throws an exception. //base test functions function forEach(iterable, fn, bind){ for (var i = 0, j = iterable.length; i < j; i++) fn.call(bind, iterable[i], i, iterable); }; Like they really needed to use call. :( But I need to make it do some rudimentary feature detection and skip and mark columns that have degraded gracefully (won't happen West of the last two at the moment, but perhaps in the future). IIRC, queries degrade at version 6 in Opera, version 4 in NN and either 5.0 or 4 in IE. Probably Safari 1.1 or 1.0 is the end of the line for them as well. I'll find out. For those who don't understand the point of all of this, read up on it the test-related discussion in my forum. If, after that, you still don't get why I test "ancient" browsers, you probably never will. :) The CSS for these things is a mess too (what a shock) and I have some ideas for styling columns that have at least one failure, cells that total those disallowed columns, etc. It really needs to have _expected_ results as well. It seems silly that the SlickSpeed test must rely on disagreements to determine there is a counting problem (what if they are all wrong?) Other than "*", which can be affected by DOM implementations and a couple of the more esoteric and less than formally specified (and/or non-standard) selectors, the answers are not really open to interpretation. With expected results, it will be possible to mark wrong answers, rather than obscuring the results for the whole row.

You write a lot about something called "My Library", a term for which Google finds 19,600,000 results. Would it not be helpful to put, say, <http://www.cinsoft.net/mylib.html> in signatures to your articles? That introductory page does not say what language the library is written in. The link on that page to this newsgroup points to Google. However, this is a Usenet newsgroup, and it would be good to have a link to <news:comp.lang.javascript> before the Google one. A Web browser should call up the user's newsreader software, if any, from that link. There appears to be only one instance of the word "date" in that domain, and that is on a page seemingly intended for readers of Spanish :-) . -- (c) John Stockton, Surrey, UK. ???@merlyn.demon.co.uk Turnpike v6.07 MIME Prof Timo Salmi's Usenet Q&A <URL:ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/link/tsfaqn.zip> TS FAQs via : http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/ : tsfaq.html quote margin &c.
