I just released a new design for my website yet ever since upgrading to v74 of Safari, if I load my site it renders as HTML Source code rather than rendering the code. This only happens once and after a refresh is non-existent until I either close the window or quit safari.

It's only a bug on the first load of any given page in my site, when opened in a new window.

Could anyone verify this with thier browser and or tell me if there's something in my source that is causing this?

here's a pic for reference:

Works fine here.

I saw your work impressive .. you have nice talent.. but try using XHTML 1.1 it is the standard it will make your sites faster on load. TABLES?!?! Check out CSS & CSS2

I love using CSS1/CSS2, but Internet Explorer never renders them quite right. Thanks to Mi�ro$oft, tables is still the only way to go for true cross-browser compatibility.

XHTML 1.1 is a standerd I know IE is a dominate browser but they will have to impliment the standerd within time .. think of the future and screw M$ ... I am second a web designer and first a Programmer. As a programmer I love standerds and hate ideas like C# Objective-C no office Apple ... standerd C and C++ are a standerd period

I ended up fixing it, I changed the following in the header.

Code:
~?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?~
~!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"~

~html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"~

Problem dissapeared. Thanks for all the help, unfortunatly the majority of my audience is Safari and Internet Explorer, so since IE is a large chunk, I have to bow down to it's stupid rendering habits.

Thanks though.

Just use &amp;lt; (less than) and &amp;gt; (greater than). It’ll show up just fine:

eg. &lt;html&gt;

I know what you mean, aoptic, On my personal web site, it’s XHTML 1.1 and CSS all the way. Unfortunately, as a professional web designer, I have to consider the needs of my employer, and those needs—right or wrong—include support for MSIE. (It’s still XHTML 1.1 Transitional, mind you; just a lot more tables and a lot fewer layers than I’d prefer.)
