Safari on Mac simulator

How to test web pages on Windows machine

[aleksl]

Maybe this is not available, but...anyone is aware of a "Safari on Mac" simulator running on Windows machine? How do you test for Mac when every machine you'd ever encounter is Windows?

OSX on VMWare.

Running Mac OS X on anything that's not an Apple is a license violation - a copyright violation.

To keep it legal: Get a mac.

There are several PowerPC emulators that Apple doesn't seem to have an issue with. PearPC was a popular one, but I don't see much recent development. That's probably due to Apple switching chipsets to Intel.

It's not supported on VMware officially, but I've seen wikis that run through the process step by step.

Have you considered Safari for Windows?

Is Safari for Windows built same way as for Mac? Haven't tried that.

iroot, never heard of VMWare. Is it stable, is it any good?

Maybe it is easier to spend $300 for a used Apple...assuming I know nothing at all about Macs, what's the difference between G3 and G4?

Safari on Windows is actualy a pretty decent browser. Not sure how it compares to running it on a native Mac, but it does use the same render engine.

The Safari browser, iPhone, Google Chrome and Android phones all use WebKit open source web browser engine [webkit.org]. I'm guessing if it looks fine in both Safari and Chrome on Windows you have a really good chance it'll look fine on an Apple and both phones.

The only difference I've notice is scrolling iFrames don't work on the phones, it just shows one big fully expanded iFrame.

mack, incrediBill, thanks. but it's not the html I am after, we get some werid javascript errors.

I tried Chrome and didn't see any errors. Maybe I'll try Safari on Win and see if does anything funny.
