Safari and Opera support - alpha preview
It is possible now to download and play with an early alpha release of the coming ActiveWidgets 2.5 which includes support for Safari, Opera and Konqueror browsers -
http://www.activewidgets.com/download/activewidgets-2.5a1-trial.zip
This is the first ActiveWidgets release which will work on all major browsers. It will fully support Safari 3.0 and Opera 9.0 and most features will also work on Safari 2.0 and Konqueror 3.5. That would make the browser support list as -
* IE 5.5, 6.0, 7.0
* Firefox 1.0, 1.5, 2.0
* Safari 2.0, 3.0
* Opera 9.0
* Konqueror 3.5
The goal is fully support Safari 3.0 and Opera 9.0 while doing as much as possible on Safari 2.0 and Konqueror. Some features will not be implemented on Safari 2.0 (XML data source, input box styling) and Konqueror (XML data source).
Other new features in the current alpha build -
* support for text indices, i.e. [{price: 123.00, qty: 50; total:...},{...}]
* deferred grid initialization, does not block rest of the page
* improved grid performance
* improved navigation API - selectCell(), selectRow() etc.
* lots of small bugs fixed
Note that this is an early alpha release, so some features are not completed yet.
