Safari 2.0 ignores a styles sheet or part of the styles sheet

Problem

When using the "_property" or "*property" hack, Safari 2.0 cannot make sense of the styles sheet. i.e. selector {*color:red}

Solution

The solution is to always follow these declarations with a ";". i.e. selector {*color:red;}

Detailed description

Safari 2.0 has a parsing bug that makes it fail to render styles properly if the "_property" or "*property" hack are not followed by a semi-colon.

For example:
selector {*color:red}

to prevent the issue, simply use a ";" after the declaration:

selector {*color:red;}

Note that the specs do not required this ";" at the end of the block declaration.
