My code for HTML forms is not working in Safari, but it does in Firefox…does anyone know why?

It's not showing the legend coding that was added or the drop down menu.

I copied the code and ran it in Safari and it works fine for me. The legend shows up and the dropdown shows up. Try clearing the cache and then reload it. I noticed the code that you posted you don't have the checkboxes or the radio buttons done yet.

Hey Stephanie,

Could you post the code that you are not using? It might be as simple as it isn't supported in Safari. If you have ever tried to develop for Internet Explorer you will experience these kinds of inconsistencies A LOT.

Thanks, Calvin

Stephanie,

What version of Safari are you using?

Thanks, Calvin

So this should be working.

Let me take a more in depth look at the code. It is possible that there isn't some markup that Safari is looking for.

I just tested in Chrome and IE and it works just fine.

I'm seeing this often, I mean problems with the code in other browsers. I think is better if you download chrome and avoid this "issue" with other browsers.

Thanks Vince! Clearing the cache worked perfectly, I will check that from now on when I have issues first! Yes, I haven't done the code for the checkboxes or the radio buttons yet, I wanted to figure out this issue before I moved on. Thank you everybody for your help!
