How to produce same result on different browsers when embedding SVG file in HTML code ?

How do I test in both Safari 3 and Safari 4?

I only have one computer (running OS X), and need to test in both Safari 3 and Safari 4. While Safari 4 is the "official" release, I don't believe it has been pushed in Software Update yet, and therefore probably hasn't been adopted by most users.

Global object for Javascript to interact with Safari plug-in

The issue is that I've written a Safari plug-in (http://tr.im/growler) that allows web applications to send Growl notifications by calling Javascript functions.
