I have recently taken my Mac in to make sure that it is working, and updating properly and they said that it is so I don. It says it downloads successfully, but when I got to watch say Netflix or use it for one of my online lectures it says that I haven't downloaded it. If this browser is going to get some share (and it likely will with 1 million iTunes downloads a month - they'll likely bundle it virally) then Silverlight support is a must. I am able to download Silverlight onto my Mac, but I cannot get it to work. He also says he was able to get a control to show while I was not. UPDATE: Tim Heuer tried the same thing and says the Silverlight Team is on it and that Safari smells like Opera to Silverlight. No amount of windows jiggling or resizing (to force a paint) would get it going on my system. This got Silverlight loaded into memory, as seen in the Process Explorer screenshot below. I figure that the Silverlight Team is already all over this, so rather than solving the problem for them, I added: That means that Safari can see the plugin on the system, but the version should be 0.95. Var versionStr = detectAgControlVersion()

I opened up this app's Silverlight.js file and added an alert() around line 85: and since it's not Silverlight but rather the JavaScript that makes the decision on whether to try to load Silverlight (and considering that Flash and what-not worked in Safari without be needing to reinstall any plugins). but on Mac it's usually: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh U Intel Mac OS X en) AppleWebKit/XX (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/YY So.checking my HTTP UserAgent gives me: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows U Windows NT 5.1 en) AppleWebKit/522.11.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Safari/522.11.3 I loaded up the Airline sample that I had running locally on my machine and got this.įrom this I glean that the JavaScript detection code isn't digging Safari on Windows. After I installed Safari for Windows, the second thing I did was see if it would run Silverlight.
