Safari not supporting Web Standard?

Hi,
I was baffled a little while ago when i went to the American Chemical Society's web page to download some articles and was given an error msg on the page itself, that my browser did not support Web Standard.
I find this really odd, because this MBP isn't more than 4 weeks old.
Also in Windows Live Mail I am stuck using the 'light' version because Safari supposedly doesn't 'have what it takes' for the full version of WLM (although my 5 yr old PC does ???).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
François

I have no problem viewing the page either. It was a different page than the one I initially saw.
Can I get a 'New Tab' button to show up on Safari, or do I have to go via File--> or Apple+T ?
Regarding a New Tab Icon: Safaricon is a great 3rd party application for creating custom Safari icons, including ones for new tab. Improves the GUI appearance quite a bit. If you download the program and its many themes, you'll see quite a selection. I use the theme "Molokini". The developer, who lives in Hawaii, is very responsive to questions etc.
Very easy to install.

What's up with Safari not supporting United States Postal Service web actions since the update???

What's up with Safari not supporting the United States Postal Service web apps since the last update?

Exactly what web apps? Did you see them at the Mac App Store? Or can you post a link to where you saw them please.
Or are you talking about an iPhone or iPad with iOS?

Firefox will not support web dynpro on my employers home page and it use to

My employer uses web dynpro and has for awhile now. When I try and look at my our e-payroll site it says my browser does not support web dynpro.... why now when it always worked before???

I had this problem as well, but was able to solve it using this procedure:
- Close firefox from the menu (don't use the 'x' as firefox may continue to run in memory for a while)
- in your start menu, enter the following into the "run" prompt: firefox.exe -P
- The firefox profile manager will open (see attached image)
- In my case I deleted the "default" profile because I didn't care about losing any settings. You may want to simply create a new profile instead in case you need to save your settings.
- To avoid being asked about which profile to be used you can highlight your new profile and then make sure the "Don't ask at startup" checkbox. When ready, press the "Start Firefox" button.
- Voila! That fixed it for me. Like I said, I just created a new "default" profile and everyone worked fine for me; use your own judgement here.
Good luck!

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Because it doesn't recognise them as valid addresses - just as the error message says.
Firefox is similar : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fhp) isn't associated with any program.
Where are you seeing this problem ?.

Hola,
Try changing the user agent string to be one of the browsers they recommend (search for 'debug menu' on this forum if you're not sure how to activate it). If it works, then they are using some numbskull validation checks. If it doesn't work, they probably doing something non-standard.
Jusging by the validation check it looks pretty badly done.
They created this browser. I remember when you could send reports to Apple for incompatabile web sites. I think they still need that now.
You still can. They just removed the debug button from the default toolbar selection. Safari menu -> Report bugs to Apple...
It takes two to tango in this game really. Websites need to do their part to write standards compliant pages, and Safari needs to be more tolerant of said non-standard pages.

Safari not loading web pages

My mom's Powerbook is no longer able to load web pages through Safari. Her email works, as does iChat, so it isn't her internet connection. Other users on the same network can load web pages, so it isn't the service provider. I have had her reset safari, as well as remove the preferences file, and the same thing happens (the 'loading' message appears but nothing ever loads).
Any suggestions what to try next?
Thanks!
Brian

HI Brian,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache.
If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ Move the Cache.db file to the Trash
If that didn't help...
Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins and /Library/Internet Plugins. If there are plugins in either of those folders, move them to a temporary location on the Desktop. With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences and click the Security tab. Make sure Enable Plugins is selected. See if Safari can load web pages. If not, move those files back to the appropriate folder.
Go to /Library/Input Managers. Move any input managers from that folder to the Desktop and relaunch Safari.
Might be a web clip causing the problem. Open Dashboard and remove any web clips.
If she is running Tiger 10.4.11, open System Preferences/Software Updates - Installed Updat4es and make sure she has the 2009-002 Security update installed. If not, download and install it here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_PPC
If her PowerBookG4 has the original hard drive, 40 or 60GB?, it might be a lack of free disk space.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

Caution: iweb sites are not supported on standard IE PCs

after going through several arcticles on the IE issue here, this issue weighs heavy. IE does not support png objects. iweb makes intensive use of creating png obejects.
i did never cross my mind when i started making my website with iweb that 90% of the internet users would be unable to view my site. most obvious i am not happy with that.
even the entire text of my website (which i made sure is not png) is invisible on IE!
however nice iweb is, it should be a clear warning to the encouraged iweb-user that the site will not work on standard pcs.

I found two things that are relevant here.
One is that Windows users should have no problems viewing or opening ANYTHING. If you've got Quicktime videos on your site, those folks MAY WELL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST QT PLAYER. But they'll have to have XP to do so (not any of the earlier versions such as ME or windows98).
It helps to include a link for the latest QT players (Mac & PC, as well as the latest PC Acrobat Readers). Most people, esp PC users, are not really "into" computing and need to be pointed in the right direction.
Sorry if I sounded arrogant there, as it's NOT my intention. But I know exactly what you are talking about!
I think it also helps to utilize simple design on your pages. Try using a minimum of "effects." What this means is: 1) use web-friendly fonts (they're grouped in one of iWeb's font collections; 2) Do NOT mask photos from within the app. Instead, duplicate iPhoto pics and adjust them separaely before importing; 3) also, don't use too many effects such as shadows. A few are OK, but be sparing.
All should be fine. My biggest personal problem has been making little video clips download and play within a reasonable time! Not easy (OR my forte.)

Safari not opening web page with 10.4 thru 10.6 either on wireless or direct connect Cat 5, any ideas?

Hello,
Have a 2006 MBP core duo that Safari seems to stall and not load web pages using wireless or CAT 5, have reloaded the OS starting with Tiger and have progressed thru Snow Leopard and still no luck, I-chat works no issues and have done all the updates both wireless and via CAT 5, any suggestions?

Try emptying the Safari cache more often. Command + Option + E
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Cllick Change Settings from the Proxies pop up menu. That will launch System Preferences for you.
Deselect any checked boxes on the left under Select a protocol to configure then click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Does Safari not support scrolling in frames within a webpage?

I haven't been able to scroll frames in webpages on my iphone. Am I doing something wrong is does Safari just not support that?
If they don't support that, that *****.

I just stumbled across this, but I think it works if you scroll with two fingers, just like a MacBook touchpad (assuming you've used one). just put two fingers over the frame and slide them up/down. That was able to scroll a frame for me.

Safari not supported

I downloaded Mavericks and everything was good but after a day, this message shows up when I tried opening Safari: You can't open the application "Safari" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
So now I can't even open Safari. HELP!!

Hi, deionisedwater.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend processing any available updates on your MacBook Pro and test launching Safari. If the issue persists, process a reinstall of Mavericks.
Reinstall OS X

Srpy, not in Web Standards! why?

i have been using Spry for sometime..
But when i was trying to make the "
image
gallery " , i notice that Spry is using custom html codes and
not base in Web Standards..
I would like to ask if it can be fixed in the later release,
i know it might be hard to change some codes. But i am very worried
about this.. I would be glad if you take action on this.
A reply and comment would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

hi Keith,
We choose to use custom attributes to enable Spry Data
functionality. Widget and Effects use all standards based code.
The XHTML spec allows for custom attributes and we have a
custom DTD to enable validation.
Read this article about that.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/validation/validating_spry.html
We are working on a way to allow people to easily make Spry
pages with unobtrusive, standards-based code. It should be out in
the next release.
Let us know if you have more specific concerns.
Thanks,

Safari Not Diplaying Web Pages Properly

This has really been annoying me, and today I've tried everything to fix it...
For some reason Safari will not display web pages properly. The problem occurs in different ways, sometimes varying between page loads. The one example that illistrates the nature of the problem best is Apple's iPhone page.
I have a snapshot of what I see when I load the page in Safari.
http://img.torgo.org/offsite/other/safari_iphone.jpg
As you can see in this snapshot, the black background that is supposed to be part of the page is not displaying black. This is obvously indicating a bug as apposed to bad css/styling, as I would think Apple's most recently added web page would be the one page that should display properly.
This problem is not limitd to missing backgrounds (though it's one of the more regular issues). My own blog is not displaying all the text in the right color (the color is supposed to be white, but between reloads some to all of the text displays in black).
I've tried empting safari's cache, resetting safari, and deleting the com.apple.safari.plist file in my preferences folder, but none of these had any effect... Furthermore I've also tried using different user accounts, and as of now they ALL display this pattern...
The only thing I cannot seem to try is to boot into 'safe mode' and see if it still occurs. This is because I just learned if I hold the shift key down to do so without fail every time my system shuts off at about the time it usually switches from the apple screen to the loading progress bar screen, but that is obvously unrelated to the Safari issue.
I'm using Version 2.0.4 (419.3) on 10.4.8 intel core duo (origional MacBook)...
2.0 GHz MacBook (Black) w/512 MB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Bobby, sorry to hear of this.
Good that you tried this in another user, and with the same thing happening there, this lets us know you have a system wide issue.
Since safemode isn't working for you at the moment, try doing a PRAM reset and a PMU reset
PRAM - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
PMU - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
then try safemode...
if it's still doing the same thing, then I suggest you try an Archive/Install w/preserving users and network setting; this walks you through that - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
if it still doesn't work after that -
• back up all you files to an externald HD, CD/DVD, etc..
• boot to install disk 1
• launch disk utility
• partition the HD (you'll see it's ONE volume scheme) chnage it to like 4, partition it, then change it back to 1 and partition it then perform a clean install of OSX
if it doesn't work after that, there is a hardware issue, contact Apple

Safari not enlarging web page

Safari has stoped enlarging the page in the sense of the width. I have a page exactly the width of a iFad and no larger. Sites concerned are newspapers.

Using Command Zoom does widen the the page. I usually don't use that however because it also makes things blurry as if out of focus, especially the photos. And the menu bar is also harder to manage.
I will try to upload screen shots. The fact that there are words that are "cropped" is exactly the problem I am talking about. In addition, this is NEW, that is before this version of Safari the whole web page was widened as well as the type becoming larger. I really liked the proportional management (much better than on Firefox) because it exactly filled my screen.
Here are some screen shots. Whoops. Can't figure out how to post screen shots here. The washington Post is the worst. After a few click (two or three) the entire lead headline becomes distorted and blocks part of the page.

Safari not displaying web pages correctly

I dont know if its my inexperieince, something to do with settings or what but I am finding some of the web pages I am receiveing are not displaying correctly. For example a card company sent me an online form to complete but when I tried to read it some of the information was displayed on top of more information making the whole thing garbled and indeciperable, on another website there was an area with a list of information held in a box but when I tried to read the information it would periodically jump about yet I was no where near the mouse. Both pages are fine on my husbands windows PC. There have been other incidents like this making the transition from windows to Mac very painful. Is this something that can be remedied or are we stuck with it?

When I experience the problem, I sometimes have to zoom in or out, to get the text to be readable.
The following is in the Safari > View menu --

Safari Not Loading Web Videos

For some reason, my Safari is not able to load various web videos from Yahoo Movies or the NYtimes. I can see the ad, but when the video should load I get a message that the video is currently unavailable. If I open the video in Firefox the video plays fine. I'm not sure what is wrong, but I'm wondering whether it's related to Adobe Flash or ClickToFlash.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I wasn't even sure whether I have Adobe Flash because it doesn't seem to be listed in the Applications folder.
Any advice would be most appreciated!
HL
My specs:
-Safari v5.0.5
-Adobe Flash v10.2.152.33
-ClickToFlash v2.2.5

Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, try a video.
