[Ham-Mac] Safari: Please report problems to Apple

[David Allred]

Apple needs and wants to know about pages that do not render as expected
when viewed with Safari. Send a report by selecting "Report Bugs to
Apple..." in the "Safari" menu, or click on the Bug icon (if you have it
turned on) at the top of a Safari browser window.

Pages fail to work as expected for many reasons. Occasionally it is due
to a problem with a particular browser, but most often it is due to the
page designer failing to adhere to best industry practices.

(Caution: dangerous shock hazard! Page publishers (Webmasters) almost
always take exception to opinions or facts that run contrary to their
view of the world! Any comment, no matter how delicately put, that even
hints at the possibility of criticism, based on fact or opinion, will
usually produce some of the ugliest email you have ever seen.)

If you want to know more about how good pages are built, and why some
pages fail, here are some links with information on how to build sites
that can be seen by everyone...

Bottom line: 999 out of 1,000 times, it's not you, it's not Safari, it's
not your Mac. It's the person that designed the page.

It's unlikely that you've found a bug in Safari. But even if you
haven't, send Apple a bug report anyway. They would like to hear about
pages that you feel are not working as expected.
