Bug 9342 – Support Google HTML editors in Safari

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: Forms

[John]

Safari cant use any rich text boxes as viewed in alot of Google Apps (GMail, Google Pages, Google Spreadsheet, Google Calendar)
This would make it alot more compatible with alot of web sites

John, are these the kinds of features you're talking about?

RTF Editing (Firefox Bon echo beta)

Are you talking about a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editor like TinyMCE (Bug 6627) or Kupu (Bug 9177) that allows you to edit styled text within the browser?

Or are you talking about displaying a document in Rich Text Format (RTF), which was a format created by Microsoft?

Well I mean if you see the attatched image of the Pages.google.com (Firefox) it clearly looks like these are being used but also Safari can't do a WYSIWYG for gmail because it cant handle text like that.

Once these are fixed then somehow Google needs to be contacted to let these web apps have full Safari support

Changing summary based on comments thus far in the bug.  See also Bug 8370, Bug 8974.

I really think rich text editing should be a priority bug in Safari. Most of gmail's features such as chat and quick contacts, as well as bold, italic, and color editing within the compose field do not work.

Yea I feel your pain, I wan GMail  to be fully supported on Safari becuse safari renders better and looks cleaner on alot of web sites compared to FireFox

This is a dupe, or rather, another bug is a dupe of this one, but since the other one is a master bug, i'm duping this one to that one, follow? :)
