Hi ll
is there any browser that can simulate the iPad browser and can be run on windows ?
thanks
Careful, this does not use iPad's Safari browser, but rather an `iframe` rendered using whatever browser it is you are using.

This site is probably fake, it depends on your browser and has no relation with simulating iPad's Safari

It is just an iFrame.

If you want to really simulate an iPad, you need to get a real OS X, and install XCode. Virtualizing OS X is hard and not-legal. Installing Mac OS X onto a regular PC is possible, but not very legal, and you have to hack your way trough it.

You're probably best off:
- Downloading Safari for Windows.
- Disabling plugins (e.g. Flash).
- Resizing to the dimensions of the iPad's screen.
Safari for the desktop and Safari for iOS use the same core (WebKit), so you'll get the most reliable rendering reproduction. You'll miss the fancier zooming/relayout functionality, but for many purposes, it will probably work OK.
I should note for the record that Google Chrome and some other, lesser-known browsers also use WebKit, but Safari for the desktop is more likely to reproduce the results of Safari for iOS, since they're both maintained by Apple.

Well the best approach I found is in this link http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/technotes/tn2010/tn2262/index.html

Shaun Sullivan created iBBDemo2, which is an ipad/iphone simulator using Adobe Air.
It's not quite the same (e.g. elements with overflow: scroll; get scroll bars here, while they don't on the actual device) but it can give you a good idea of how your website would look.
