I'm trying to find Safari 8 for Windows as I am programming a website and I want to see if it all works properly in the Safari browser.
I got Windows 8 and the Application Server and the database both run locally on my PC right now.
Is there a way to test the website on Safari 8 without having a Mac or iPhone?
Thanks!
Latest version of Safari for Windows was 5.1.7, then they discontinued the Windows version.
But if you want to test how your website renders under Safari, you can use online emulators like Browserstack.

Are we able to test angular 8 application on safari browser 5.1.7 on windows OS or any polyfills to be added or any tools exists?
There's no reason to be testing on Safari for Windows. It was discontinued in 2010 and is no longer supported by Apple.
According to NetMarketShare, Safari for Windows has a 0.01% market share, less than QQ, Sogou, Opera, Yandex, UC, Maxthon, Baidu, Vivaldi, and Amigo. Unless you're also testing all of those, don't bother with Safari for Windows.
Safari for OSX or iOS is a different question, but to test those browsers, you'll need a device that is actually running OSX or iOS.
I'm testing mediaelement.js with various OS (Win XP and 7 so far) and browser combinations (Chrome, FF, IE8, Opera) before using it on my own website. Those combinations seem great but after hours of effort I can't get Safari to work well enough under Windows XP SP3 to do a true test of whether mediaelement.js works in Safari under Windows XP (Safari normally doesn't respond when visiting web pages with or without mediaelement).
Forum posters say that one shouldn't bother to try to make Safari and XP work together but my users worldwide use many combinations of OS and browser so I need to know whether to warn them off from trying to use my mediaelement-based pages with Safari and XP.
Can someone please confirm or deny that Safari on a Windows XP PC can play the video on http://mediaelementjs.com ? I would be most grateful.
I also tried this running an XP VM with all the latest updates. It worked with Safari 5.1.5 and I also upgraded it to 5.1.7 and both played the video without a hitch.
I found an old Win XP PC in the attic, installed Safari 5.1.7 and it handled the video on http://mediaelementjs.com fine.
I've been having this issue too. It's only on Safari on Windows. So far, I've had issues with Safari telling me that certain MediaElement functions don't exist:
TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'this.pluginApi.loadMedia()')
It's obviously an issue with the Flash fallback and it occurs after calling .load(). It seems like a bug in MediaElementJS because that is an internal function.
I started setting the source like this:
var player = $('#wp_mep_1')[0].player.media;
player.src = 'video_url.mp4';
and then for Safari, or the Flash fallback, I had to manually change the flashvars after clicking to get the video to update:
$j('#me_flash_0').attr('flashvars','id=me_flash_0&isvideo=true&autoplay=false&
preload=none&width=480&startvolume=0.8&timerrate=250&flashstreamer=&height=270&
file='+video_urls[slider_position]+'.mp4');
Flash player doesn't work in explorer 8 ( Windows 7 64 bit ) , I can't load the pages which use adobe flash. If I disable flash plug-in, the pages can be loaded but naturally without flash animations . It doesn't make auto updates. Chrome works without problem. What can I do ?
You could try upgrading to a more recent version of Internet Explorer. IE8 is over six years old.
Updating to IE9 didn't work but I updated later Flash. Version 11.1.102 works properly on IE9
I need to test the styling of my web in both IE8 and IE9.
If I install IE9 then it will upgrade into IE8, So is there any way to install both IE8 and IE9 ?
Use a Virtual PC for testing on older IE.
Microsoft built a set of VHDs with different variations of OS/IE which do not requires activation. But these images will expires after a few months and you will need to download a new set.

Try IETester is a great tool for web developers. You can check Browser Compatibility for Internet Explorer Versions from 5.5 to 10
Thanks for your help, Right now I got a way to test in IE 7, 8 and 9. after installing IE 9, When we press F12 for developer tool, there's a option for Document mode. There you can have all IE 7, 8 and 9 to test your website.
Is there any way, to simulate a Firefox, running on a Mac in Windows?
I have a problem with a website, it only appears in Firefox which is installed on an Apple PC.
In Firefox, installed under Windows it works fine.
Is there any way, to do this?
I would prefer freeware....
You can install OSX on Virtual Box or VMWare they both have support for OSX up to 10.7.x
Try an online browser testing service, which will allow you to preview a site by either a screenshot of your URL in a browser, or give you remote access to a VM of the OS and browser you need.
Some options;
BrowserCam
Adobe BrowserLab
