Hello all,
This time I'm having a problem...

Safari 2 on Mac is doing something very strange with the DNN Search box. To demonstrate:

  1. Open http://robax.mysite4now.net in IE6,7, FF2, Opera9.x or Safari 3 and it looks normal. The search box is transparent over the background search image.
  2. If you then click the Safari 2.0.4 screenshot link in the middle of the page, you'll see what happens in Safari 2
  • There are two search boxes - one in the right place, and one up next to the DNN menu!
  • The boz that is in the right place isn't transparent - I'm making it borderless and with a transparent background in CSS.

I'm hoping someone with a bit of Mac Safari 2 experience might know what's going on here? I haven't got a Mac to troubleshoot this on - someone is sending me this as a screengrab.

Regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,

I have investigated the page (was doing some Safari debugging today anyway, not a specialist by the way).
I do know Safari does not handle Javascipt / HTML errors very well, it's very strict.

I made some screen captures with element info, if you send me an email, I'll send them to you.
It seems to me there is no relationship with the serach input, so it might be one of the other hidden inputs or one generated with javascript.
I also tried to save the page and open the saved HTML in Safari, for debugging, but then none of the input boxes show up.

Even if I set all of them to visible and the background-color: red, the extra box is not there.
I noticed one more thing:

On the page there are two
</body> tags, one before the injected navmenu script and one at the end of the page...
Could that be the problem? (I guess you accidently left one in your skin)

Thanks for having  a look Timo, I've sent you an email.

I've removed all body tags from the ascx now so maybe that will help.. .or if it's still there in Safari 2 then maybe there's somethign going on with that.

It's definitely odd how the additional field is snug up aginst the right side of the dnn menu.. like it's part of it. You're probably right that it's not related to the search field and might be something else. I can't try it out from here.

I have found a place that lets me use VNC to remote to a Mac for a couple of days and I might have to try that.

Rob
