Safari incompatibility

I keep hitting web sites where Safari does not work. I start up Firefox, and it works. The latest is Dun and Bradstreet. They have pages where the "submit" button does not do anything (with Safari). Hitting return does nothing also. On a different page, the submit worked but the data submitted caused an error in the receiving server.

I hit a similar problem with adwords.google.com's pages. Firefox worked. Safari did not.

I would switch to Firefox except it really looks sucky and the "feel" of it leaves me wanting. In the case of the D&B page, yes, I was able to fill out the form, hit submit, and it was submitted but going from field to field and just generally navigating through the page is "iffy". For example, a radio button would not click until I moved the cursor out of the previous field to the next field.

Is this generally known? Or am I the only one having/reporting these problems?

(I'm on 10.4.7 client with Safari 2.0.4)

Thanks
 
Yes, it is generally known that come web pages are hard-coded for specific browsers. It is also generally known that Safari is sometimes specifically left out as a supported browser on some such websites.
