Adding dependencies for dupes.

16 more quirks have been posted since June 02, 2006 when Adele finished posting the then-exiting Quirksmode bugs.  New quirks start with:

Safari :hover bug on overflowed element containing floats
Reported: 5 Jun 2006

Safari :hover bug on overflowed element containing floats
Reported on 5 June 2006
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2006/06/Safari_hover_bug_on_overflowed_element_containing_.html

Safari (only tested 2.0.3) fires :hover outside the borders of an overflowe:d element if it's containing floating element. The :hover will trigger outside the element on Safari. Neither MSIE6 or Firefox has this bug.

Fixed in locally-built debug build of WebKit r18399 with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8N1037).

Reported on 27 June 2006
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2006/06/Change_to_overflow_property_does_not_remove_scroll.html

When setting the overflow from auto to hidden, nothing happens in Safari.

addEventListener not working for dblclick event
Reported on 28 June 2006
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2006/06/AddEventListener_not_working_in_Safari_for_double_.html

In Safari and Opera the 'dblclick' event can not be attached using addEventListener.

Hangs up on form element with display:table-cell
Reported on 19 July 2006
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2006/07/Hangs_up_on_form_element_with_displaytable_cell.html

Put the code: <form style="display:table-cell"></form> in a page. Safari will hang and you must force it to quit.

Applying styles dynamically makes no difference.

Incompatibility in "children" DOM property
Reported on 22 September 2006
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2006/09/Incompatibility_in_children_DOM_property.html

In Safari 2.0.4 (and possibly other versions), a Node's "children" property includes all descendant nodes, not just the immediate children. The "childNodes" property correctly returns only the immediate child nodes.

Safari setDate() Bug
Reported on 26 September 2006
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2006/09/Safari_setDate_Bug.html

Safari's Date.setDate() function appears to be limited to a single byte number, making the range of date changes between -128 and 127.

Line-height declaration in short-hand form
Reported on 29 September 2006
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2006/09/Line_height_declaration_in_short_hand_form.html

Safari doesn't show line-heights defined in the shorthand font declaration:

font:bold italic 14px/40px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
The line height should be 40px, but it's not, in safari.

The solution is quite simple, though: use the common way to declare line-height:

line-height:40px;

hover doesn't work with onmouseover
Reported on 18 December 2006

The CSS hover-pseudoelement doesn't work on elements that are shown with an onmouseover-event in Safari

Changing col style properties via javascript causes no redraw in Safari
Reported on 31 January 2007
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2007/01/Changing_col_style_properties_via_javascript_cause.html

Dynamically changing the className or style.backgroundColor has no effect on the rendering of <col>s in Safari. Static styles work fine.

Fixed in a local debug build of WebKit r20211 with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L127).

Clearing Problem
Reported on 1 February 2007
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2007/02/Clearing_Bug_on_Firefox_Safari_and_Opera.html

If you have an element set to float:right; and you follow it with another element set to clear:right; float:right; and then follow those first two elements with a third element set to float:left;, the third element will not float next to the first element, even though it is not actually being cleared.

This bug is also present when the directions are reversed.

(ppknote: Strictly speaking this is a bug in Explorer, but I find Dan's reasoning compelling enough to publish his report unaltered. Besides, other web developers will conceivably run across this behaviour in Safari, Opera, or Firefox. Be sure to click the "real world example" link on the test page.)

Test page 2: http://level39.com/clearing-bug/layout.html

Fixed as of a local debug build of WebKit r20211 with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L127).

Technically, this isn't "fixed", it behaves per spec.  See Bug 12114 for details.

for...in loop iterates over shadowed properties
Reported on 7 February 2007
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2007/02/forin_loop_iterates_over_shadowed_properties.html

In a for...in loop, Safari mistakenly iterates over shadowed properties of an object.

Shadowed properties are an object's constructor's prototype properties which have been overwritten by a property of the object.

This bug affects Safari up to version 2, but has been corrected in WebKit.

Fixed in r15468 per the test page: http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/15468
