He admits this in his interview with Yahoo!™. It is a problem for me because it needs attributes that are not part of any HTML/XHTML specification. Not comforting. Matt Sweeney of Yahoo!™ says “don’t invent your own markup… [the same] goes for attributes.” [...] […] The YUI-ext Grid component was a problem challenge for Slocum.

But I'd still contribute to a fund to buy Jack a Mac. :-) Ok, I should remove the egg from my face, the examples I was looking at in Safari where all examples of *fixed width* splitters, not the (one) resizable one, which does work in Safari.

The instances where things don't work in Safari (like the 1st SplitBar example) are generally caused by doing something in a way Safari doesn't support. It's not the component, but the lazy example that's flawed. For simplicity, in the first SplitBar example I used an HTML table to divide the content into splitable areas. Safari doesn't support offsets for table cells/rows. So that example doesn't work in Safari. In subsequent examples I used CSS layouts instead of a table and they all work well.
