Since many of my customers send incomplete orders due to a lack af JS abilities in Safari I have added an alert popup which can be tested at http://www.watchband.biz/pub/orderform.htm. I cannot test it since I don't have access to a MAC with Safari on it. So may I ask you folks to have a look?
Thanks.
 
I don't see a pop-up anywhere...the cart seems to work fine for me.
 
I have put the following code in the header:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript">
function detectBrowser(){var browser=navigator.appName
var b_version=navigator.appVersion
var version=parseFloat(b_version)
if ((browser=="Safari"||browser=="Konqueror"||browser=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
&& (version>=0)) {alert("Your browser environment is not fully supported!")}}
</script>
</HEAD>
<body onload="detectBrowser()">
</body>
</HTML>

The "Microsoft Internet Explorer" detection works on my PC. I just don't get it why the Safari and Konqueror detection does not. I have found the tip at http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_browser.asp

Click to expand...


Stick an alert in your code to test the return value of navigator.appName, or in your case the 'browser' variable... you should find this is actually "Netscape" for the Safari browser, hence your problem.

check out the Safari FAQ

hope this helps!
 
I have now updated the navigator.appName to browser=="Netscape".
Can you see the alert now? Will Firefox users see it as well?
 
Clicking your link, I get a "Are all product varients blah blah" in Safari running Tiger 10.4.2.
