Simple question... How am I going to reproduce Javascript bugs if I don't have a Mac & Safari? Is it possible to run a legit copy of Mac OS on VMWare, or even better...run Safari in Windows?

A:
if its just Javascript, you can reproduce them in any browser. Be sure to use something like FireBug to help you out

Why was this downvoted? It's not a wrong answer.

I didn't downvote, but browser does matter.. for example, a trailing comma in JSON objects breaks IE but not firefox.

A:
I expect that any JS bug will be repeatable in the Windows version of Safari as well. However, for completeness, there are several services that allow you to view your web page in a metric boatload of browsers on OS X, Linux, and Windows, e.g. litmusapp.com. In this case, your question suggests that you may need more than a screenshot -- browsrcamp.com has a service which allows you to remote into a Mac and use a web browser interactively.
(Grain of salt: I haven't used any of these services myself.)
