Does Safari support ActiveX?

I have a key application needs to install ActiveX, but seems Safari doesn't support that, only IE does. Can anyone help to solve the problem? thanks

ActiveX is a Windows Only technology, kind of Microsofts version of Java Applets but of course proprietary.
There's not really a way around this except 'complainin' to the company's site as there are different technologies they can use to do what they require without excluding all Linux and Mac users by design.
There's something to be said about creating a web site that conforms to W3C standards( http://www.w3.org/ ).

Does Safari support a interactive PDF with hidden layers? I'm on version 5.0.3 and the interactive PDF displays just fine, but our web development team tells me all the layers display when they view the same PDF on Safari.

Does Safari support interactive PDFs with layers? Through the use of hidden layers and buttons we built in interactivity that allows the viewers to click on buttons to display different content. When I view the PDF in Safari 5.0.3 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 the PDF displays fine and the interactivity works. However our web design firm tell me the PDF displays all the hidden layers when they view it in Safari. Who's right?

Try updating your Safari to the latest version, 5.0.5.
Also check whether the rest of your system is up to date by going to Software Update in the Apple menu.

How many bookmarks does safari support?

How many bookmarks does safari support? I need to save a lot of articles for an exam.can I trust safari to save around 500 bookmarks?

I have about 20 bookmark folders and in those twenty are about 30 on average, so say about 600. But I think there is no restriction, it may well be a million.

Does Safari support the vary by cookie header

I am developing a website that stores user preferences in cookies. In the vary header I specify the browser should vary by cookie. However, it seems that this is ignored in Safari on Mac, as it retrieves the page from local cache even if the cookie value has changed.
It works correctly on Safari for PC and other browsers.
Does anybody recognize this behaviour?

If you try it from http://regexpal.com/ you'll see that it works as it should in IE and FF but not in Safari.

Does Safari support/run ActiveX controls?

I need to have Remote Access to my work from my iPad. There is a box that pops up stating "This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls."
Anyway to do this??

The iPad does not support Windows only ActiveX. There are apps that allow you to remotely access your PC such as SplashTop Remote. Check it out in the app store.

Does Safari support Automatic Proxy Configuration with a .wpad file?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows whether Safari supports Automatic Proxy Configuration with a .wpad file?
Morgan

HI Morgan ..
Safari is extremely finicky about proxies and according to Wikipedia it dates back to older browser versions.

Does Safari support "cover" value of background-size property for CSS?

I'm a web developer. I've run into a Safari issue while coding up a new portfolio site. I was using an older version of Safari that came with my MacBookPro with leopard, where in my css the old Safari was recognizing and properly implementing the value "cover" for the property background-size.
body {
-webkit-background-size: cover;
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and I assume my Safari was upgraded too, because now the website I'm building does not look correct in the current version of Safari. Safari is not letting the "cover" value fill the browser window completely as it should. Instead Safari will only allow the image to fill the background so long as the width and heighth values are lower than the actual size of my background image. Once the browser size exceeds either the width or heighth size of my bg image, Safari shows nothing (empty space filled with bg color) beyond the image size. The current version of Safari is 4.0.4.
I want the image to fill the background of the browser window regardless of the browser window resizing in any direction while maintaining the proper aspect ratio, so overflow of image height is generally hidden.
You can see the site I'm building here, mikepriebe.ca. It should look fine in Chrome and Firefox. In Safari you should see what appears to be a large uneven border around the background photo.
Any thoughts or tips on how to fix this or work around this?

Thanks Roger. Although I'll still need to solve the issue for those viewers using the older versions of Safari, even if the property value is executing correctly in the latest version of Safari.

Does Safari support the lazy operator in a JavaScript regular expression?

I've already filed a bug for this. Anyway I'd like to know if you already knew it.
If you go to http://noteslog.com/personal/projects/regexp/test.html you'll see an input box and a "Go!" button. Put a JavaScript regular expression in the box and click the button. Shortly you'll see a red line showing how many characters have been matched.
If you try
\[\w\W\]
you get a correct result (all matched)
but if you try
<\?\[\w\W\]*?\?>
you get a wrong result (nothing matched) and the issue is due to the fact that the ? after the * is not treated as a laziness operator.
Test in IE, FF, and Opera too, and you'll see that they work as expected.

Does Safari support iWeb?

I developed a few web pages on iWeb. The headline and subhead were centered. On Firefox they appear the way I created them. On Safari the text is skewed to the right. What's up with that? How do I correct it? Why aren't Safari and iWeb in synch?
The site is here:

I now need to qualify my remarks.
Safari started to crash on me continually today after updating to the latest version.

ActiveX: Safari does not support

I'm using the "Blackboard Academic Suite" online course delivery system through my university. Many of the functions require support for "ActiveX".
Safari doesn't support ActiveX, which is incredibly lame. Are there any ways around this issue (other than buying a PC)?

Remember Katherine,
ActiveX opens up Windows to security issues. Last numbers I saw being touted around had total Windows viruses at over 97,000. Number of Mac OS X viruses Zero, there are many reasons for this, one of which is the default security build into OS X and Safari.
I know it bites, we had to implement Blackboard at our university, but my section was tied in under the Marketing Dept so we all had Macs. Luckily I had a PC I used for browser compatibility checking so I could do Blackboard work on that.
The next worst offender outside of the university system is the real estate multiple listing service. Some tard wanted a really cool looking menu that they couldn't do in java so they wrote an ActiveX control so the web page is a mixture of menus in html/java, and the ActiveX menu so now it won't run on anything but IE in Windows. Of course you could fill out the data in the forms to perform a search without ActiveX but the tard also put the submit button on the ActiveX control leaving everyone SOL.
I keep VPC on the system for emergency use which is still rather rare. Last time I brought up Windows under VPC was about 3 weeks ago.

Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

" plug-in name does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari Security "Manage Website Settings"?

Hi,
Wondering why "<plug-in name> does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari > Security > "Manage Website Settings"?
Have been trying to get to the root cause of the problem but did not find much on this. I am trying to figure out what can get the warning to go away completely than using the Allow/Always Allow options for the plug-in
Thanks,
Shyam

Hi Linc,
Thank you for your response. Here is the screenshot of the warning that I am talking about.
Here is what I do:
1. Launch Safari and open its Preferences. I have Safari 7.1 installed on my machine.
2. Click Security Tab and click Manage WebSite Settings
3. A window opens showing me all the Plug-ins that I have (listed on the left hand side).
4. One of them is the Adobe Reader plug-in. When I click Adobe Reader, the following details about the plug-in show up on the right
I was referring to the highlighted section that warns me about this plug-in not using the highest level of security for Safari Plug-ins.
Note: I do not see this for all my plug-ins (QuickTime, Adobe Flash Player don't give me this warning) which tells me that there is a way to make the warning go away.
Thanks again,
Shyam

You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root /Library
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
The next one is in your Home folder.
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
When you're done, try Safari.

Is there a workaround for websites that use "frames" when Safari does not support?

Is there a workaround for a website that requires "frames" when Safari (5.0.6) does not support it?

Has anyone found a work-around for this that works?
No. Any attempt to use an unsupported network device with Time Machine will probably result in data loss, even if it seems to be working at first. If you take data protection seriously, you won't try.
Is it possible to get Time Machine to use SMB to make the backups?
No.
