How to Fix CSS Issues on Safari
Different browsers serve the web page content differently which can cause problems while using some CSS properties. To solve this kind of issues, there is a simple solution that will help you with 90 percent of cases.
Although many programmers face some difficulties when Safari doesn’t support CSS properties, these properties work fine in other browsers.
Displaying properties in Safari
There is a CSS appearance property used to display an element using a platform-native styling based on the users' operating system's theme. To make it work on Safari, we must set the appearance property to its "none" value. Also, use -WebKit- and -Moz- vendor prefixes.
Let’s see an example, where we use this trick to make the border-radius property work on Safari without any problem.
Example of making the border-radius property work on Safari:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the document</title>
<style>
div {
height: 100px;
width: 17%;
background: #ccc;
border: 4px solid #1c87c9;
-webkit-border-radius: 50%;
-moz-border-radius: 50%;
border-radius: 50%;
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

Example of making the background-color property work on Safari:
<!DOCTYPE html>

-webkit-appearance: none;
