Post rating in Safari

[Annabella]

Using Safari as a browser I can't rate posts. I just get a grey screen with an infinite scroll bar.

Use Firefox to rate posts then.

I do at work... just wondered if it was the plug that Korn uses for ratings and whether he was aware it didn't work with Safari.

The good news is that this is now fixed.

The bad news is that I had to actually touch a Macintosh to see what was going wrong in the first place. Now I feel dirty

The Safari DOM sets document.body.clientHeight to the full height of the page, rather than the height of the client portal (i.e. your browser window) so that the popup box for the ratings would always appear too low. Since most pages tend to be taller than the portal it meant infinite vertical scrolling, and you'd never get to see the box.

The fix is to use the window object's innerHeight, which contains the figure needed.

Cool

Assuming you didn't write the karma system yourself, have you submitted the fix to the guys who wrote the plugin?

If you wrote the plugin yourself then

Nope, my own creation. I just don't usually test things in Safari if I can help it!

To be honest, Safari is a little flakey.

I test all my websites with Firefox, and then try to 'fix' them so that they work in IE and the rest of the bunch.

I've got some javascript that works fine in IE and FF, yet in Safari it's broken. Got to be Apple's fault, and not mine of course!

Just be grateful that MS dumped IE Mac... that was a nightmare.

meh...I've been using mac's since before they were cool

I'm no developer, but what I do know is windows is shit. Mac OS is alot less shit (besides OS X is worth it for expose alone ). My last wintel laptop crashed almost daily before finally dying on me and taking the entire contents of my hard disk with it. My current iBook has crashed maybe twice in over a year.
But to be fair, I am sick of how every time I post something on a mac forum that is even a tiny bit anti-apple, the geeks tear me to shreds. Some people take their computers entirely too seriously...
