Firefox spoofing in Safari 3.0 and Gmail issues
Hi, In Safari 3.0 it is now possible to change the user agent to Firefox 2.0.0.2. In doing so the Gmail site does not render at all. Well it displays but no formatting is provided, not even HTML elements. Is this a known issue? Build is 522.11. Andre

Just to confirm that I have the same symptoms with nightly build of 17 June 2007. Andre

I noticed this myself as well. You can't necessarily expect sites to always work when spoofing as another user agent. GMail in particular sends rather different content depending on your browser. I do seem to recall it working earlier though, and I am not sure if it's a WebKit change or a GMail site change that makes it not work at all now. It used to be that spoofing sort of worked and enabled the Quick Contacts feature. Regards, Maciej

Well I suppose that's what happens when web site try being too smart. The real reason I had changed the user agent was to see if the rendering of the contact list was now working properly. Since the page is so messed up I can't verify this. Andre

You need to allow setting innerHTML on StyleElements. Regards `Allan

Is this a debug menu thing or a source thing? If the former I am not sure where I should be doing this. Andre

It is a source-code thing. In the file html/HTMLElement.cpp in the function HTMLElement::createContextualFragment(), it currently breaks and returns on 'hasLocalName(styleTag)', that test just needs to be removed. `Allan
