How to target Safari for Mac only?

Question

Hi I\'ve cross browser fixed a site on all thinkable PC browsers, including Safari. Now my smart ass designer sent me a screen shot of the whole layout collapsing on mac. I

Answer 1

Use this in css. it will be rendered only in Safari

/*\*/
  .some-class {
    /* Here comes some options */
  }
/**/

Answer 2

The user agent string contains operating system information, and you are probably already checking the user agent string for the browser type.

A mac browser will have the string "Mac OS X 10." in the user agent string.

Answer 3

@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
     /* Add your Safari-specific styles here. */
}

Answer 4

I think the selected right answer is outdated and does not work now.

Here is the output of navigator.vendor

Safari on iPad

Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 8_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/600.1.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Mobile/12F69 Safari/600.1.4

Safari on Mac

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/600.2.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.2 Safari/600.2.5 Safari/600.1.4

As you can see Mac appears in navigator.vendor of both scenarios.

Here is my version

var isSafariMac = /Safari/.test(navigator.userAgent) && 
                  !/Mobile/.test(navigator.userAgent) && 
                  /Apple Computer/.test(navigator.vendor);

So you can use this to target Safari on Mac:)

Here's a script you can include on your page (or in a separate js file) that will add a class to the html element so that you can add safari-mac specific css to your css file.

(function($){
    // console.log(navigator.userAgent);
    /* Adjustments for Safari on Mac */
    if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Safari') != -1 && navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mac') != -1 && navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Chrome') == -1) {
        // console.log('Safari on Mac detected, applying class...');
        $('html').addClass('safari-mac'); // provide a class for the safari-mac specific css to filter with
    }
})(jQuery);

Example css fixes, which can be in page or in your external css file etc:

/* Safari Mac specific alterations
 * (relies on class added by js browser detection above),
 * to take into account different font metrics */
.safari-mac #page4 .section p.fussyDesigner { margin-right: -15px; }
.safari-mac #page8 .section-footer { width: 694px; }

Thanks to other answers for ideas, I've tried to wrap everything up into a complete solution in this answer.

You probably need to run a regex query against the User-Agent and selectively load a CSS file just for Safari for Mac.

Also: Are you sure that Safari for mac and safari for windows render the same page drastically different?
