Thanks for the reply Mark. I've filled the following bug for it:

That was just useful for the TC. But you are right; I'll take care of using
the recommended way:

	(/ AppleWebKit\//).test( navigator.userAgent )


Thanks again!

For the few big issues we are having with Safari, I'm going almost crazy,
trying to find a way to place the caret inside an empty element for editing.
To understand the problem, just try the following page:

http://www.fredck.com/bugs/safari/collapsed_select_test.html

This page works well with Firefox 2 and Opera 9.5 (minor issues with this
one). 

Before opening a bug report for it, I'm coming to the mailing list for a
desperate call for help.

Please do file a bug report on this at http://bugs.webkit.org/.  I'm not an
expert on editing support by any means, but the behaviour you are expecting
to see from the test case sounds correct.

On an unrelated note,
// For Safari and Opera, we must ensure the focus.
if ( (/safari/i).test( navigator.userAgent ) )

It is almost never correct to test for "Safari" specifically.  WebKit is
what you should be aiming to detect.  This will ensure that your code
functions correctly in other WebKit-based browsers, such as OmniWeb, Shiira,
NetNewsWire, etc.

Kind regards,
