OI 9.4 O4W Toolkit says 1.5.
This O4W application was created in 2010 and has been updated many times over the years.
Recently, we have had users of the Safari browser complain that some computed values (their Amount Owed) is not showing a value. Meanwhile uses of Chrome seems to work fine.
Is there a setting that will make this compatible with Safari. As you can see in the below request it is very difficult to get a user to tell use their browser version. We have "o4wscripts_post6.pack.js" as the only versioned standard script. All use the Google CDN.
I had a Safari user say that the website doesn’t display the amount to pay payment box, we also had a customer e-mail with a screenshot showing the same issue, btw have not confirmed browser they are using. Safari is Apple’s browser, and if they have a Mac or Iphone, they probably have automatic updates, but the customer couldn’t advise me of version #. I don’t know if we can look into website compatibility problems with Safari.

Hi, Dave. Oh, yes, there are more modern versions available - OI 10.x uses jQuery 3.x, in fact. However, there are several "breaking changes" when you go to jQuery 3, so it's not an option for you in OI 9.x.
I would suggest that you might be able to go up to jQuery 1.12.4 with jQuery UI 1.12.1; you can try to download them and put them on your local system, or you can specify them via the "Google CDN". Note that you might still require a helper script to go above 1.9, which you can find on the jQuery site here - you would need to download it to your site, put it somewhere (most likely your <o4w>/javascript folder), and include it in the "standard scripts".
All of this should be attempted when you have a good backup of the system, in case this breaks things.
And having said all that, I don't know which (if any) version would fix which (if any) version of Safari, but I guess going to a (at lest slightly) newer version would be the place to start.
Hope that helps,
